Job description

Your role:
As a Game Designer at Aesir Interactive, you will be the bridge between abstract design concepts and tangible gameplay. You won't just write design documents - you will define, connect and build the features of our systemically driven games.

  • Input & Feel: Refining character control, camera behaviours, and input schemes for PC and Console.

  • Cross-Discipline Collaboration: Working with programmers and artists to see through final implementation while maintaining the creative direction.

  • Solid understanding of UX principles, interface design, and user-centred design practices.
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
  • Excellent communication skills and a proactive mindset.
