From "Hard Reset" to "Shadow Warrior" and "Evil West," we live for heart-pounding action and immersive experiences. But we're not stopping there!

We're gamers at heart and know the gaming community is our lifeblood. So, whether you're a pro or a casual player, join us for a wild ride through gaming heaven. With Flying Wild Hog, you're in for a gaming adventure! 

 

YOUR ROLE

As a Senior or Principal Combat Designer, you’ll define and craft high-quality combat systems, mechanics, and encounters. You’ll work closely with other disciplines and act as the vision holder for combat gameplay, ensuring it’s cohesive, punchy, and polished. You won’t just guide — you’ll build, prototype, and iterate directly in-engine, leading by doing.

 

YOUR DAILY TASK

  • Own the creative direction for combat gameplay: melee, ranged, special abilities, enemies, and bosses.
  • Prototype, implement, and polish combat mechanics hands-on in Unreal Engine 5.
  • Collaborate with animation, engineering, AI, and level design to deliver fluid and reactive combat experiences.
  • Ensure consistency, balance, and clarity across all combat systems.
  • Provide direction and mentorship to combat-focused designers (without formal team management).
  • Take initiative in identifying and solving gameplay and technical challenges.
  • Champion player experience and gameplay feel throughout the development cycle.

SKILLS AND REQUIREMENTS

  • 5+ years of experience in game design, including combat-focused work on at least one shipped AA or AAA action title.
  • Deep understanding of combat design principles: rhythm, responsiveness, feedback, clarity, and balance.
  • Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5 and Blueprints – rapid prototyping is second nature to you.
  • Ability to collaborate across disciplines and clearly communicate your design vision.
  • Proactive and independent – you can take ownership and push features forward without needing top-down direction.
  • Strong analytical and tuning skills: you know how to turn “good” combat into “great” combat.
  • Passion for combat systems – from tight melee and fast-paced ranged to enemy behaviors and boss design.
