Shanghai – onsite – Full Time

Senior Game Designer, Project R.I.S.E

We are looking for a passionate and experienced game designer who specializes in Unreal Engine to join our Shanghai Studio.

You will be working on one of our new projects. You should be able to independently design new features and systems, and support their implementation, but the ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience in crafting second‑to‑second action gameplay, including, but not limited to level mechanics, layout design and enemy/AI behavior.

If you think that describes you, then we’d love to hear from you.

• Prototype gameplay content (mechanics, enemies, level interactivity) by yourself with minimal dependencies on other disciplines.
• On-hands design and iteration of new features, game mechanics and gameplay content
• Collaborate with other disciplines to follow your designs from initial documentation through to final in-engine polish.
• Support the development of the game with any additional skills.

• At least 7 years of professional experience as a Gameplay Designer with a portfolio demonstrating combat gameplay and/or level content created by yourself using Unreal Engine & Blueprint.
• Proven ability to implement enemies, NPCs and combat mechanics into interesting encounters
• Proactive doer who takes responsibility and pride in their own work when given the freedom to work independently
• Strong cross-discipline communication skills
• Being a great teammate - we believe making games is a team sport
• A self-starter approach to use AI. You’ve found ways to use it in your day-to-day work, you experiment, figure things out and bring the same energy to every new challenge.

• Familiarity with level design tools and concepts. Proven track record of building level blockout.
• Experience with combat AI and familiarity with Unreal Behavior Trees.
• Extensive knowledge of Unreal’s GAS - from Gameplay Effects to Ability Modifiers

This role is based in our Shanghai office. If you are not local, our relocation team would be excited to help you with your move to Shanghai, China. We provide comprehensive support not only for you, but also for your family!

Supercell is a games company from Helsinki, Finland, with offices also in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You might know us as the makers of Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever.

So, how do we make great games? By putting together the best teams and giving them the freedom and independence to succeed. And by taking risks, failing, sharing learnings, and killing lots of projects.

As Supercell’s first international game development studio, the Shanghai studio is one of the most exciting things happening in Supercell and a unique opportunity to join at a relatively early stage to help shape our path. Our vision is to be a world-class international studio, making new global hit games while leveraging the unique advantages of the game development scene in China and broader Asia.

Independent cells and trust are at the core of our culture. But it takes more than that to make great games. We take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed while having fun along the way.

Here, you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define…
