• Own features from initial concept and blockout to polish
• Iterate based on playtester and player feedback

📚 Required Skills
• Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5 level design tools
• At least one commercially shipped game on any platform
• Experience designing open-world or large-scale environments in UE5, including World Partition, HLODs, and level streaming
• Solid understanding of shooter level design principles such as cover, sightlines, and encounter pacing
• Familiarity with RPG systems including quests, items, loot, and progression
• Experience with UI design or implementation in UE5 using UMG or similar tools
• Ability to work independently and manage your own time effectively

👍 Nice to Have
• Experience with AI navigation and encounter design
