WHO WE ARE

At 2K, we create some of the most iconic and culture-shaping video games in entertainment, including NBA® 2K, one of the top-selling franchises in the world, and legendary titles like BioShock®, Borderlands®, Mafia, Sid Meier’s Civilization®, and XCOM®, as well as fan favorites WWE® 2K, TopSpin®, and PGA TOUR® 2K. We build unforgettable experiences by pushing the boundaries of creativity, authenticity and innovation across every genre.

Our portfolio is brought to life by some of the most influential game development studios in the world. Visual Concepts, Firaxis Games, Hangar 13, Cat Daddy Games, 31st Union, Cloud Chamber, Gearbox, HB Studios, and 2K SportsLab create world-class experiences across platforms.

But what truly powers 2K is our people.

We believe the best ideas come from teams that feel empowered, supported, and inspired. As an equal opportunity employer, we are committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace where people are encouraged to come as they are and do their best work.

HB Studios has an opportunity for a Game Designer (Live Content) who is knowledgeable about golf, and passionate about the art of game development to join their team.

As a Game Designer with a focus on game content and Live Ops, you will work with a team of professionals designing and developing one of the fastest growing sports game franchises in the industry!

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • Work with feature owners to understand existing game systems, and drive plans and implementation of content to support those features.
  • Design, author and maintain the playable gameplay-, event-, and objective-based content needed to fuel a thoughtful, and engaging player experience.
  • Design and implement supplementary level designs on top of existing courses to support gameplay needs such as Challenges gameplay.
  • Shepherd content through implementation, focusing on hands-on work; including playtesting, tuning, data entry, content creation, and scripting.
  • Ensure all tools and features are working as intended and coordinate with the QA team to report bugs and reproduction steps.
  • Use the provided toolset and operate on the outlined processes for handling working files, implementing levels, vetting check-ins, etc.
  • Generate and design new ideas and extensions that improve our Live Service features over time.
  • Contribute to our growing philosophy of game design and how we make games.

WHAT WILL MAKE YOU A GREAT FIT

  • Typically, a minimum of 2 to 4 years of experience in Game Design.
  • A strong grasp on the game of golf, the world of professional golf, and PGA TOUR.
  • Strong systems design foundation with demonstrable understanding of game loops, player motivations, and retention.
  • A solid understanding of technical and production aspects of game development, backed by associated experience, including at least one shipped title or project.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively and clearly document and present ideas in a distributed team that relies on Slack and video calls.

  • Self-motivated individual with a desire to explore, research, grow, and become a go-to subject-matter expert in areas of need.
  • Strong working knowledge of current design trends and mechanics across major modern sports franchises.
  • Experience with live service games is a plus.

We believe the ideal candidate is a creative person with a love for game design, and hunger to deliver high-quality, inviting, and engaging golf experiences through video games. We value a proven ability to breakdown game issues, mechanics or concepts into lay terms and share views on game-specific issues in a constructive manner. We are seeking both detail-minded, and big-picture persons who work well with others and consider all forms of feedback.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
