Responsibilities
- Design, script, and implement quests, missions, and gameplay events from concept through final polish, including objectives, triggers, fail states, rewards, and branching conditions.
- Use Unreal Engine 5 to build and iterate directly in-engine, with strong hands-on use of Blueprints for gameplay scripting, mission logic, and event flow.

- Build and maintain mission flow documentation, scripting briefs, and implementation notes that clearly define objective structure, event conditions, dependencies, and expected outcomes.
- Collaborate with narrative, systems, engineering, art, QA, and production to ensure missions are functional, readable, and aligned with broader gameplay goals.
- Support the creation and upkeep of recurring mission content, rotating objectives, and other player-facing live content structures where applicable.
- Playtest and iterate on pacing, clarity, challenge, and usability based on team feedback, player behavior, and quality goals.
- Help identify, triage, and resolve scripting issues, broken triggers, edge cases, quest blockers, and live player-impacting bugs.
- Maintain clean, readable, and maintainable Blueprint logic that supports long-term updates and collaboration across the team.
- Work with light scripting in C++ when needed, particularly in support of implementation hooks and collaboration with engineering teams.
