Founded in 2010 by the original creators of the Call of Duty Franchise, Respawn was created with the philosophy that when talented people have creative freedom, they’ll make extraordinary games that achieve the unexpected.

6. Ship bug-free, highly polished experiences that push the industry standard for AAA quality.
7. Become an extremely helpful wealth of knowledge for other team members to query on the inner-workings of the game and engine.

Ideally, you will have...

1. 
   
2. 7+ years’ experience in the games industry working as a designer, shipping at least two titles.
3. Expert-level understanding of Unreal Engine 5 including its tools and systems such as Sequencer, World Partition, AI, and more.
4. Experience with text-based scripting, visual scripting, and/or programming languages.
