What You Will Do

• Design and improve accessibility features for our games, ensuring they meet the needs of players with diverse abilities.

• Act as an accessibility advocate, sharing knowledge and best practices across the studio.
• Conduct accessibility evaluations and playtests, incorporating feedback from players with disabilities.
• Stay updated on industry standards, ensuring compliance with accessibility guidelines (e.g., XAG, WCAG, PlayStation/Xbox standards).
• Contribute to accessibility documentation, creating resources to guide designers and developers in best practices.
• Prioritize accessibility features that make the game playable for larger and more diverse groups of players.
• While the primary focus of this role is accessibility, responsibilities may temporarily shift based on project needs and development priorities.

• Knowledge of Accessibility Standards – Familiarity with XAG, WCAG, and best practices for inclusive game design.
• Understanding of Player Needs – Awareness of motor, cognitive, visual, and hearing disabilities, with a player-first approach to removing barriers.

• Project & Tool Experience – Comfortable with Jira, Confluence, and game engines like Unreal, Unity, or proprietary tools.
• Technical Knowledge (Bonus) – Familiarity with coding, Visual Studio, or scripting is a plus.
• Passion for Inclusive Design – A strong belief that games should be for everyone and a drive to push accessibility forward.
