What You'll Do
Epic Games is looking for a Principal Game Designer to tackle high-level engagement challenges across the Fortnite ecosystem.

- Communicate and represent a vision for the player’s experience to multiple teams across the company, as well as supporting teams of all crafts to optimize their engagement
- Collaborate with product management and marketing teams to ensure player satisfaction and overall game health while driving growth across the ecosystem and supporting key activations
- Drive collaborative and iterative live design to prototype quickly, make changes live soon after, learn from them, and iterate
What we're looking for
- 10+ years of experience shipping multiple titles as a game designer, working on engagement content or goal-based progression systems in live-service multiplayer environments
- Demonstrated talent for empathizing with players and a deep understanding of player motivations, forms of play, and the effects of goal setting on play
- Strong interest in BR and the Fortnite Ecosystem with an understanding of what makes them work
- Able to react quickly to changing project needs and drive decisions, then own that vision
- You’re player-focused, passionate, solutions-focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do
