Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.
The Minecraft gameplay team needs someone to help us provide our fantastic community of over 100 million players with more fun and an even better game, for many more years to come. This is not an ordinary design or developer-role. In this role, your responsibility will be to help drive the creative vision for the game, and gameplay feature design. Be the voice for the players and help add as much player delight for years to come.
The Minecraft Gameplay team is responsible for the gameplay of vanilla Minecraft, all platforms and all players. Our feature development process is very iterative, and we have a close collaboration with our huge and diverse community. We work on an already amazing game, and it is of very high importance that every single feature fit into Minecraft.
As a Technical Game Designer, you will work closely together with the rest of the Minecraft team on developing new features in Minecraft and on maintaining existing gameplay. You will be part of the full process of gameplay development - from brainstorming and design to implementation, polishing and bug fixing. This is a great opportunity to mix two amazing things: programming and game design! Some of your responsibilities will be:
Execute on the creative vision for the assigned project
Create design ideas and concepts related to new and existing features, together with your team
Prototype new feature ideas through Java code
Take ownership of a feature and its design quality from ideation to release
Be able to articulate rationales, feedback and design choices, as related to the consistency within the project and across the studio as a whole
Requirements
Experience with Java- or C++ development (having experience in both is awesome and a big bonus!)
Experience with, and an understanding of what makes Minecraft what it is.
Experience working with game design in the games industry.
Strong knowledge of game design and understanding of contextualized design
Desire to be part of a creative and highly collaborative team and ability to take feedback and direction.
Excellent communication skills, both verbally and in written form, to support your vision
Overall, we think that you have the ability to drive an idea from concept to completed feature in a collaborative environment. You are a team player, who understands the importance of communication when working in a small team with a lot of stakeholders. Finally, you are humble, but yet really good at what you do.

But in the end, it's the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you'll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals - all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
