We are looking for a creative who thrives in the "white space" of early development and possesses a true "Game Jam" spirit to join our team as a Realisation Designer.
This role is designed for a creative generalist who thrives in the early stages of production, focusing on how visual design supports gameplay clarity, player readability, and the "moment-to-moment" experience across our console and PC titles.

This role requires a natural curiosity for cutting-edge workflows and the latest technologies to solve visual problems quickly. Ultimately, you are a versatile visual communicator who enjoys the challenge of wearing many hats and feels at home where the goal is to bridge the gap between a raw idea and a compelling, playable reality.
This is a high-impact role where you will support the development of new project proposals, internal prototypes, and co-development partnerships by bringing ideas to life through a wide range of visual disciplines.

• Create the visual assets needed for new project proposals and internal concept development.
• Design for high-stakes proposals and creating unique project identities and logos.
• Creating motion graphic concepts and video editing to communicate gameplay intent dynamically.
• Work closely with Game Designers to visually define mechanics, states, progression, and player actions.
• Partner with Art Directors to ensure prototype visuals align with the overall visual style and tone of the game.
• Help create high-quality deliverables and presentations that communicate gameplay intent to external partners.
• Work alongside Developers and Technical Designers to implement, test, and iterate on gameplay visuals in-engine.

• Experience in gameplay-focused design or visual development roles within the games industry.
• Shipped console and/or PC titles.
• A portfolio that demonstrates a wide range of skills, from 2D painting and 3D layouts to graphic design and motion.
• A history of working in multidisciplinary teams where adaptability and rapid turnaround were key.
• Strong understanding of game design fundamentals, especially player feedback, readability, and affordance.
