* Gameplay Balancing & Iteration – Playtest and refine levels based on internal feedback and data to ensure smooth flow, challenge, and engagement.
* Technical & Artistic Considerations – Optimize levels while respecting artistic direction and technical constraints.
* Problem-Solving – Troubleshoot and resolve gameplay, scripting, or performance issues within levels.
* Mentorship (Senior Level Only) – Provide guidance, feedback, and support to junior designers where applicable.
* Other responsibilities as assigned.
REQUIREMENTS
