At Visual Concepts, we believe great games are made by diverse and empowered teams with a shared passion for play. As one of the world’s top game development studios, we have shipped over 100 multi-sku titles to critical acclaim and commercial success. Our teams are independent and entrepreneurial. Our studios in Novato, Foothill Ranch, Irvine, Budapest, Shanghai, Austin, Boise, Seoul, and Parksville, Canada are committed to artistry and technical innovation, offering top candidates the opportunity to learn and grow with some of the smartest and most creative minds in the industry.

What We Need:

Do you prize efficiency, productivity, and the satisfaction that comes from helping a team do their best work? Do you care about storytelling in games, from moments of wild spectacle to shocking character development that raises the stakes on the play experience? If you answered "yes!" and love cinematic moments in games, we’d love to talk to you.

This role works with teams responsible for WWE Superstar entrances, victories, and mid-match moments, plus modes like MyRise and Showcase—narrative-focused experiences that allow players to relive great moments in WWE history, or make their own, with a Superstar that they build. You’ll work most closely with animation teams to help organize, track and prioritize a host of efforts, from motion capture to feedback to integration and troubleshooting. Finally, you’ll handle scope, balancing your team’s capacity to deliver great work with cross-team schedule and launch goals.

WWE2K is an exciting and ambitious game with a diverse set of features and requirements. You will grow and develop in many different areas, learning from a highly skilled team while working on innovative technology.

  • Manage dependencies with other teams to ensure requirements for gameplay, graphics, concept, character and environment modeling, testing, tools and workflows are all known and supervised.

Who Will be a Great Fit:

  • Four or more years’ game production experience.
  • One or more shipped games with significant scope of ownership (large feature or mode).
