Game Designer with Unreal Engine Experience

D.K. Global, Inc. - Redlands, CA

WHO WE ARE

DK Global is the country’s leading provider of litigation visuals — animated visual aids used by trial attorneys when advocating for their clients. We are developing a new product to give attorneys more control and share more persuasive, immersive presentations during mediations and trials. To turn this concept into reality, we are searching for a game designer to join the team.

The person we are looking for is a generalist: creative and analytical, a leader and a collaborator, a strategist and an executor. Your role begins by creating, collecting, and organizing ideas. You’ll provide the technical creativity and know-how to help with new ideas, solve problems, and design user journeys. Working alongside DK Global’s world-class team of founders, visual consultants, 3D animators, project managers, marketing, and a dedicated game developer, you will oversee implementation of the aforementioned ideas and production of this new product.

This product will be used by attorneys nationwide to explain the magnitude of what happened to their clients. Our core product already helps attorneys attain better outcomes for those who deserve justice, and we believe this new product will be an even more powerful evolution of the DK Global model. In short, the Game Designer who joins our team will be among a core few who gets to channel their years of experience toward a product that helps put broken lives and shattered dreams back together. Sound like something you’re interested in?
