  • Deep understanding of player behavior, usability, accessibility, and long-term engagement loops.
  • Strong product judgment, using research, telemetry, and player feedback as inputs not crutches.
  • Excellent cross-discipline communication and leadership skills, with the ability to influence Design, Production, Engineering, and Product teams.
