About Iconic
We’re building digital actors: AI-driven characters that don’t just talk, but act; shaping the world, responding to the player, and driving stories that evolve through both words and actions.
The Mission
We believe games and interactive media are on the verge of a fundamental shift.
Today’s experiences are largely scripted, characters follow predefined paths, and player choice is limited. We’re building systems that change that: digital actors that can think, communicate, and take action in real time.
Our goal is to create worlds that are truly alive—where stories emerge from interaction, and every player experience is unique.
Recent advances in AI make this possible for the first time. The challenge now is turning that potential into real, scalable systems that people can play.
OUR DESIGN TEAM
The Design Team is a multi-disciplinary group dedicated to crafting compelling player experiences, from initial concept through to final implementation. Working closely with the Research, Art, Narrative, and Engineering Teams, the team translates the overall game vision into individual features, levels, quests, and encounters. Through creative problem-solving and continuous iteration, the Design Team takes ownership of features across the full development lifecycle, ensuring high-quality experiences are delivered to schedule.
What You’ll Do:
•
Develop feature designs and feature specifications for a broad range of game features
•
Partner with research to build innovative experiences with cutting edge technology
•
Maintain design documentation and be a major contributor to the ideation process
•
Solicit feedback from a multi-disciplinary team of designers, artists, engineers and scientists
•
Take ownership of features throughout their development, and act as an ambassador for the features you own
•
Ensure the final delivery of features are fun, engaging, and meeting the expectations of our fanbase
•
Develop feature prototypes to test and iterate on ideas early
•
Ensure productive playtesting, fix reported bugs, and secure Director validation
•
Iterate upon live experiences using direct player data and community sentiment
