They will be involved with both the architectural design and implementation of that system that may span across many topics: spawning, character architecture, interaction and targeting, scripting and game sequencing (mission, game modes, player progression), AI navigation and others. Working closely with the game engine team, they will act as game engine experts within the gameplay team to share knowledge and best practices.
