Technical Game Designer

Job Description We're building the future of augmented experiences, sitting at the intersection of design, style, and technology. We are looking for a Game Designer who brings more than just technical skill—we need a creative visionary with impeccable taste in visuals, music, narrative, and "game feel." In this role, you will draw from a deep well of inspiration to take the familiar and make it completely new. You will partner closely with engineering and design leads to infuse the team with inspiring concepts while delivering performant, high-fidelity content for AR glasses. Responsibilities

Rapid Prototyping:

This is critical. You will rapidly iterate on new mechanics and concepts to "find the fun" early. You embrace a "fail fast" mentality to refine ideas into something intuitive and fresh.

Innovate and Inspire:

Think outside the box to design experiences that blend art and utility. Use your diverse creative background to elevate the team's output.

Build Real-Time Logic:

Implement complex runtime logic within a real-time environment, balancing high-quality visuals with strict performance limitations.

Bridge Design Art and Code:

Serve as a design, technical and artistic hub. Manage the pipeline from artist to engine to deployment, ensuring creative intent survives the technical process.

Optimize and Polish:

Prototype, profile, and optimize custom shaders to achieve a distinct visual style without sacrificing framerates. We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.
