What You'll Do

The Walt Disney Company and Epic Games are collaborating on an all-new games and entertainment universe.

In addition to being a world-class games experience, this new persistent universe will offer a multitude of opportunities for consumers to play, watch, and engage with content, characters, and stories from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, Avatar, and more.

Players, gamers, and fans of all kinds will be able to create their own stories and experiences, express their fandom in a distinctly Disney way, and share content with each other in ways that they love. Come join us in creating the future of interactive entertainment.

• You have a solid online portfolio that demonstrates user-centered design solutions with strong visual direction and interaction design
• You have a passion for making and playing games
• You're a proactive individual who naturally leans into owning outcomes from start to finish
• You're highly proactive and able to work autonomously, but you enjoy collaborating as part of a high-performing team
• You're able to deal with ambiguity well and adapt to changes of plan quickly, and you want to work with a team that values collaboration over individual success
• Bonus Points:
