We’re looking for a Principal Producer to join our team at Hypixel Studios, which collaborates remotely from around the world. Our members range from industry newcomers to experts with 25+ years of experience. Team members come from a diverse set of backgrounds, but share a common passion for building polished player-focused, community-powered games.

Join us on our mission to bring players together in an inviting, immersive world where they can make their mark. Hytale  empowers creative expression across a spectrum of experiences including sandbox adventure, social play, minigames, and creativity using a suite of powerful and accessible tools.

Some of your role:

• You will lead Producers with their multidisciplinary teams and work with a variety of stakeholders to establish an overall vision and strategy for the broad, interconnected feature set you oversee.

• Proficient in both written and verbal communication with technical and non-technical individuals.
• Management experience of Producers with a growth mindset.

Bonus Traits:
