What We Do

Put your design skills to work at a cutting-edge company that challenges the norm. From character and level design to competitive gameplay and system design, help shape the future of interactive entertainment at Epic.

What You’ll Do

Epic Games is looking for Technical Designers to join our growing Lego Fortnite team. As a Technical Designer, you’ll work with a cross-disciplinary team of game designers, artists and level designers on our in-game building system that millions of players use to express themselves. You’ll be supported by engineers and design leadership as you implement content and expand & improve the experience.

In this role, you will

• Own the implementation of new modular building kits, ensuring that they work well within the system.
• Use and improve the building system to make it as expressive and player-friendly as possible.
• Monitor the internal tooling and ingestion workflows and either fix them yourself, or refer them to the proper engineering resources.
• Suggest UX decisions on how tools and workflows should function.
• Assess technical debt in the systems you touch, and work with leadership on reducing or managing that debt.
• Stay fully versed in the current and long-term design objectives of your design group, and represent those objectives in engineering discussions.
• Work closely with art, level design and production teams to ensure that all upcoming modular building kits can be implemented in a timely manner and function well.

What we’re looking for

• Unreal editor experience: core understanding of Unreal’s object model and how objects are represented and constructed in the editor.
• Blueprint experience
• Level design experience (in a professional setting or on personal projects)
• Communication skills: ability to adapt your messaging to your audiences
• Player empathy
• Collaboration skills
