Job Description

We're building the future of augmented experiences, sitting at the intersection of design, style, and technology. We are looking for a Game Designer who brings more than just technical skill-we need a creative visionary with impeccable taste in visuals, music, narrative, and "game feel."
In this role, you will draw from a deep well of inspiration to take the familiar and make it completely new. You will partner closely with engineering and design leads to infuse the team with inspiring concepts while delivering performant, high-fidelity content for AR glasses.
Responsibilities
• Rapid Prototyping: This is critical. You will rapidly iterate on new mechanics and concepts to "find the fun" early. You embrace a "fail fast" mentality to refine ideas into something intuitive and fresh.
• Innovate and Inspire: Think outside the box to design experiences that blend art and utility. Use your diverse creative background to elevate the team's output.
• Build Real-Time Logic: Implement complex runtime logic within a real-time environment, balancing high-quality visuals with strict performance limitations.
• Bridge Design Art and Code: Serve as a design, technical and artistic hub. Manage the pipeline from artist to engine to deployment, ensuring creative intent survives the technical process.
• Optimize and Polish: Prototype, profile, and optimize custom shaders to achieve a distinct visual style without sacrificing framerates.

We are a company committed to creating diverse and inclusive environments where people can bring their full, authentic selves to work every day. We are an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer that believes everyone matters. Qualified candidates will receive consideration for employment regardless of their race, color, ethnicity, religion, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, marital status, national origin, ancestry, genetic factors, age, disability, protected veteran status, military or uniformed service member status, or any other status or characteristic protected by applicable laws, regulations, and ordinances. If you need assistance and/or a reasonable accommodation due to a disability during the application or recruiting process, please send a request to HR@insightglobal.com.To learn more about how we collect, keep, and process your private information, please review Insight Global's Workforce Privacy Policy:


Required Skills & Experience
• 5+ years developing real-time games.
• Technical Artistry: A refined aesthetic sense with the ability to execute it. You understand how visuals, audio, and storytelling converge to create a compelling loop.
• Unity Mastery: Strong experience with prototyping and gameplay programming in Unity.
• User Empathy: A strong focus on player psychology and physical comfort. You understand the unique constraints of AR and design for the human wearer, not just the screen.
• Content Creation: Hands-on experience in real-time content creation (characters, environments, VFX, animation, or lighting).
• Collaboration: Proven ability to communicate complex ideas clearly to both engineers and designers.
• Tools: Proficiency with version control systems (Git, Perforce).


Nice to Have Skills & Experience
• Experience developing real-time experiences for VR headsets or Wearables.
• Familiarity with Generative AI models and concepts.
• Deep architectural knowledge of game engines (preferably Unity).
• A self-motivated, product-focused mindset with a passion for emerging technology and video game culture.


Benefit packages for this role will start on the 1st day of employment and include medical, dental, and vision insurance, as well as HSA, FSA, and DCFSA account options, and 401k retirement account access with employer matching. Employees in this role are also entitled to paid sick leave and/or other paid time off as provided by applicable law.
