Lead Game Designer

Deck Nine Games is currently hiring a Lead Game Designer for our next AAA narrative adventure game. The person we are looking for is both a storyteller, and a game designer, plus a creative engine and an inspirational leader.

Could this be you? Well, do you love single player games?  Do you enjoy crafting narrow but deep experiences?  Can you love a game equally for both its gameplay and the relationships between its characters?  Do you hunger to stand in front of a large team, inspire them and lead them in creating a deeply personal game that fans talk about for years? If so, then you’re the right person for the job.

Responsibilities:

• Nurture, maintain, and evangelize the creative vision for the game
• Collaborate with the gameplay team to create innovative gameplay
• Collaborate with the story team to break the story with an eye toward gameplay
• Collaborate with the art team to craft visually impressive artwork
• Listen to all the ideas, coherently answer all questions and protect the core vision
• Work closely with everyone to create clear creative strategies and solve creative problems
• Review, troubleshoot and provide feedback
• Be a passionate leader every day

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience as a Lead Game Designer, Art Director, Creative Director or Lead Writer
• Must have shipped at least 1 AAA title
• Must be willing to relocate to the Denver, Colorado area

If you are a talented and passionate game developer and you are looking to challenge yourself creatively, please apply today! Position is full time, on-site and applicants must already be authorized to work in the U.S.
