You will collaborate closely with engineers, artists, product owners, and other designers to turn ideas into working, sustainable systems that feel alive and interconnected.

You would play a pivotal role in breathing life into this extremely cool simulation / mmo hybrid project and would have the opportunity to make decisions and create features that would have a huge impact into its final form!

• Taking ownership of a major gameplay system or domain.
• Helping shape the design direction of SEED’s economy and simulation.
• Influencing long-term systems thinking across the team.

• Collaborate with data and analytics teams to evaluate system performance and player behavior.
• Work with product owners to align systems with project goals and player experience objectives.
• Create clear documentation that communicates design intent and functionality to the wider team.
