Requirements:
The ideal candidate has extensive hands-on experience with action RPG or Soulslike games, with at least 1000+ hours of gameplay in the genre and a strong understanding of its mechanics, pacing, and player expectations. You should have a highly analytical, logical, and methodical approach to problem-solving, with the ability to interpret complex qualitative feedback and translate it into structured insights. Strong communication skills in English are essential, along with the ability to clearly present findings to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
You should be comfortable working in a fully remote environment, demonstrating strong self-management, proactivity, and discipline in communication and delivery. Experience interpreting player psychology and behavior is highly valued, especially in identifying sentiment “between the lines” rather than relying solely on explicit feedback. Familiarity with game development processes, QA, or live game operations is a strong plus. The ability to adapt quickly, prioritize under tight deadlines, and maintain high-quality analytical output in a fast-moving environment is essential.
In this role, you will help shape the player experience of complex, high-quality games by transforming community feedback and gameplay data into actionable design insights. You will serve as a critical link between players and development teams, ensuring that player sentiment is deeply understood and meaningfully addressed. Working remotely within an international team, you will collaborate closely with designers, developers, and QA teams. The role demands both analytical precision and strong empathy for player experience, especially in nuanced and challenging gameplay systems. You will contribute directly to improving game balance, mechanics, and overall engagement. This is a highly influential position for someone passionate about understanding what makes gameplay truly satisfying.
