- Iteration & Playtesting: Playtest levels, gather feedback from the team, and iterate quickly on layouts, difficulty, and player readability.

- Documentation & Handoff: Maintain clean, well-organized project files and provide clear handoff notes for scripters and artists working downstream.

- Portfolio: Portfolio of built Roblox experiences, levels, or comparable game work that demonstrates your design approach and craft.
- Performance Awareness: Understanding of performance and mobile optimization considerations when building for Roblox.
- Collaboration: Comfortable working with scripters, artists, producers, and creative leads across a project.
