  • Strong understanding of timing, pacing, and player psychology
  • Experience designing high-difficulty precision gameplay
  • Ability to create clean, readable layouts without unnecessary distractions
  • Familiarity with level editors and gameplay scripting tools
Preferred Qualifications

  • Knowledge of difficulty scaling methodologies
