• Experience partnering with backend and live-ops teams to support fast iteration on time-bound content and feature rollouts
• Ability to make strong technical tradeoffs in a content-heavy, operationally active game environment
• Comfort leading cross-team initiatives with multiple dependencies and ambiguous constraints
