Senior Development Director

There are many things that make Believers who we are, but our defining characteristic is an unwavering dedication to the player experience. We believe that player-first development is critical for games, esports, and all forms of media that allow us to engage with our favorite worlds and heroes. We are not just a game company; we are a company for Gamers. We believe that collaboration and diverse thought drive innovation, and we foster a development culture around that principle.

As a Senior Development Director, you will work closely with leadership and all disciplines to focus efforts on the most resonant game for our Players. In this role, you’ll take the product vision and translate it into an executable roadmap and develop ways to drive the team forward.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

As Senior Development Director, you will keep leadership informed on product progress, risks, and team health while helping teams stay focused on what matters most for players. You'll own prioritization, balancing player impact against product and business goals, and driving toward predictable delivery through lightweight processes and strong relationships. You'll know when to hold the line on scope and when to flex, and push for improvements in velocity, risk, or focus wherever you see opportunity. You will report to the CTO.
