Our Designers are driven to push artistic and technical limits in open-world games. We want players to feel hooked by our characters and immerse themselves in our world, to enjoy having their actions and choices reflected back at them, and to savor a game world that feels alive and real. To accomplish these goals, we collaborate closely with writers, animators, technicians, and other designers throughout the studio.

Guerrilla is looking for an experienced 3C (Characters, Camera & Controls) Systems Designer with a passion for creating & implementing responsive controls and a dynamic camera system for playable characters. Reporting to the Lead Game Designer, you will work within a core team of multiple designers focusing on traversal and character mechanics, and take charge to ensure quality feature delivery.
As an experienced (3C) Systems Designer, you will design and share innovative features to create accessible character controls and dedicated camera systems for our target audience.
