**About us**:
As a first-party Xbox Game Studio, we are passionate about making genre-defining games that are accessible, beautiful, and, most of all, fun. We are excited to be rebooting the much-loved Fable franchise and are expanding our diverse team to create a new classic in the action RPG genre.

**About the role**:
As a Senior Encounter Designer, you will be working with the encounter team to deliver memorable combat encounters.

**What you'll do**:

- Use propriety tools to implement encounters to the highest standard.
- Be a driver of collaboration between all disciplines involved in delivering encounters, acting as a champion of quality.
- Develop a thorough understanding of player verbs, using this to proactively suggest improvements and craft encounters which enhance gameplay.
- Mentor and support junior team members, providing feedback on design work.

**What you'll bring**:

- 4+ years of Encounter Design experience, with demonstrable work on at least 1 published title (ideally AAA).
- A portfolio demonstrating high-quality Encounter Design work. This portfolio can be submitted as a link to a portfolio website or added as an attachment along with your CV.
- A flexible, highly motivated and friendly approach to your work.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- A genuine passion for video games.
- Experience with text-based or visual scripting and level design tools.

This is a fantastic opportunity to make a world-class game with an established, talented, and collaborative team at one of the industry's most exciting first-party game studios.
