Accountabilities:

Monitor and analyze player feedback across social platforms, forums, and community channels to identify key issues, recurring themes, and emerging trends in player sentiment
Translate qualitative and quantitative insights into clear, actionable recommendations that improve gameplay experience and address root causes of player concerns
Analyze player behavior, engagement patterns, and in-game data to support decisions around game balance, mechanics, and feature design
Design and evaluate tests for new gameplay features, ensuring mechanics are balanced, engaging, and aligned with core player expectations
Present findings and insights clearly to cross-functional stakeholders using structured reports, visuals, and verbal communication
Act as the internal voice of the player, ensuring clarity and alignment between community expectations and development priorities
Support cross-departmental initiatives that improve overall game quality and player experience

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.

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.
