    • Collaborate with both artists and designers on ways to improve the game content implementation to take advantage of existing technology and drive to the best end result possible.
    • Collaborate with engineers to improve design workflows and bring gameplay intentions to life while respecting performance and technical constraints
    • Work with producers and team leadership to assess requirements and provide effort estimates and updates to help ensure the team reaches its goals successfully
    • Requirements

    • Strong interdisciplinary collaboration skills, including verbal and written skills
