A new world and a new journey await you. It is a world different from any other Blizzard has created. We’d love to talk to you if you are a passionate senior game producer, and, well, an all-around good human being. We have a new AAA survival game in the works, set in a new IP for PC/Console.

As a Senior Engine Producer on the team, you will have a strong understanding of game engine development best practices and production methodologies, collaborating with cross-functional discipline teams to ensure achievable goals are outlined and realized throughout the phases of development.

We believe our team is good. Really good. Granted, we’re obviously biased. But we also believe there are lots of people out there who can make us even better. You could be one of those people. If you’re looking for a team where inclusion, thoughtfulness, empathy, professionalism, and collaboration are all seen as critically important, we believe our team could be a phenomenal fit for you.
