Job Description

Horizon succeeds when our Creators succeed. The single biggest reason a game developer chooses one platform over another is reach and the ability to build a business. The Creator Growth and Economy's mission is to build the tooling that empowers Creators to grow and monetize their games.

You will lead product for the "Creator Tooling – Growth" team that empowers Creators to build and engage their audience across four product pillars:

1. Live Ops. The retention systems that turn players into durable communities.
2. Semantic Annotations. The system that converts player in-game data into structured data to be used in Discovery, Notifications, etc to pull players back into the games.
3. Marketing Hub. A tool to help Creators generate and share assets tuned to drive viral growth.
4. Creator Analytics. The signals Creators need to understand and improve their games.

An initial deliverable of this pod is the Creator monetization dashboard, a single Creator-facing surface that unifies revenue across in-world purchases, digital goods, ads, residuals, and the Bonus Fund. Building it well requires fluency in the platform systems beneath it: the digital goods catalog, inventory, and commerce infrastructure that power purchasable items across Horizon, including avatar and world economies. This role sits at the seam between Creator-facing growth tooling and the technical platform that makes Creator monetization possible.

This role is right for you if you pair demonstrated ability to define product strategy and make data-informed prioritization decisions with hands-on technical understanding of platform and commerce systems; you think in systems and flywheels; you use data to inform decisions; and you want to define how the next generation of game Creators grows and monetizes a business on Horizon.
