📋 Description

• As a Game Designer for Brookhaven, you will be at the forefront of shaping one of Roblox's most iconic and expansive social roleplay experiences. With over 72 billion visits and millions of daily active players, Brookhaven represents a monumental opportunity to influence a global community. Your role transcends mere feature design; you will be instrumental in architecting core game systems, crafting immersive player experiences, and orchestrating memorable in-game moments that foster deep player engagement and loyalty.
• You will be tasked with translating a rich tapestry of inputs – including live player data, direct community feedback, and your own keen player intuition – into tangible game design elements. This involves conceptualizing and refining engaging roleplay tools, dynamic in-game events, compelling progression systems, and effective monetization mechanics. The ultimate goal is to drive sustained player retention, maximize playtime, and achieve critical revenue targets, ensuring Brookhaven's continued dominance on the Roblox platform.
• This position demands a highly collaborative approach. You will work hand-in-hand with cross-functional teams, including Product Managers, Engineers, Artists, and Data Analysts. This integrated workflow allows for rapid iteration and deployment of new features, providing immediate visibility into the impact of your design decisions. You will play a pivotal role in defining the future trajectory of roleplay gaming within the Roblox ecosystem.
• Your responsibilities will include a thorough review of existing game systems and designs across Voldex's portfolio, with a particular focus on Brookhaven. This critical analysis will identify opportunities for enhancement and lead to the proposal of actionable, data-driven design solutions. You will be expected to articulate these solutions through clear, comprehensive design documentation, ensuring seamless implementation by engineering, art, and production teams.
• A key aspect of your role will involve close collaboration with product managers and analysts to distill complex game data and nuanced player feedback into impactful gameplay changes. This data-informed design process is crucial for iterative improvement and strategic development.
• You will actively contribute to the design and iterative refinement of new features. This includes, but is not limited to, enhancing core roleplay tools such as props and avatar editors, conceptualizing and implementing engaging live events, and developing fresh roleplay content that expands the game's universe and player possibilities.
• A significant part of your work will involve balancing the intricate interplay between new and existing game systems. This requires a keen understanding of game economy, player psychology, and the delicate equilibrium needed to uphold fairness, maximize engagement, and meet ambitious monetization goals.
• To maintain Brookhaven's competitive edge, you will engage in ongoing market research, analyzing top-performing Roblox experiences and identifying emerging trends, feature opportunities, and potential risks. Player testing and feedback sessions will be integral to this process.
• You will provide essential support for live operations by proactively proposing, meticulously tuning, and rigorously evaluating in-game events, limited-time modes, and monetization strategies. This ensures the game remains fresh, exciting, and financially sustainable.
• The ideal candidate possesses hands-on experience with Roblox Studio, whether through professional development or personal projects. A strong foundational understanding of systems design, the principles of progression loops, and the nuances of live operations management is essential.
• You should have a proven track record of designing features that demonstrably improve player retention, engagement, and monetization metrics. Proficiency in crafting clear, actionable game design documentation, including detailed flows, configuration specifications, and feature requirement documents, is paramount.
• The ability to create basic wireframes, player flow diagrams, or annotated mockups to effectively communicate User Experience (UX) intent is highly valued.
• A demonstrated ability to leverage both quantitative data and qualitative community insights to inform and shape design decisions is critical for success in this role.
• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills are a must, enabling effective interaction with diverse disciplines including art, engineering, product management, and analytics.
• A genuine passion for roleplay and simulation games, spanning from tabletop experiences like Dungeons & Dragons to digital worlds like The Sims, and any genre where players can embody characters, build narratives, and tell their own stories, is highly desirable.
• The role requires the ability to work collaboratively during hours that align with EST–PST time zones, ensuring effective communication and coordination with a globally distributed team.
• Prior experience in shipping updates or full games on the Roblox platform is a significant advantage.
• Professional experience designing features for live-service or free-to-play games, particularly within the roleplay or simulation genres, is highly beneficial.
• Experience with tabletop roleplay games, such as Dungeons & Dragons, can provide valuable insights into player-driven narratives and emergent gameplay.
• A degree in Game Design, Interactive Media, or a closely related field is a plus, though not strictly required if equivalent professional experience is demonstrated.
• While not expected, familiarity with Voldex's tech stack, including Roblox Studio, Luau, Snowflake/dbt/Tableau, and AWS, can be advantageous for understanding the development environment.
• This is a fully remote position, requiring working hours aligned with EST/PST time zones. Travel is expected 2-3 times per year for key events like RDC and team meet-ups.
• Voldex is committed to fostering a diverse and inclusive workplace, and we do not discriminate based on any protected characteristic.
