We’re looking for a Principal Producer to join our team, which collaborates remotely from around the world. Our members range from industry newcomers to experts with 15+ 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.
At Hypixel Studios we are looking for applicants that are demonstrably passionate about their hobbies, have the drive and commitment to deliver results with minimal supervision, have international-level professional competency in their skill sets, and can demonstrate involvement with other interesting projects throughout their lives.
The ideal candidate for our production team will have a breadth of game development experience ranging from early R&D to live game operation, and strong instincts for how to lean on that past experience while leading teams into new creative opportunities. The candidate will play a role in coaching and mentoring other producers and will be a strong role model for understanding players and delivering against their needs.
As Principal Producer, you will lead development, live operations, and strategic decision making for the Hytale Online experience.

- You are an experienced leader who knows how to nurture, motivate and guide teams of talented developers.
- You are a shrewd decision maker who doesn’t shy away from big, ambiguous problem spaces. You are humble when those challenges go well and take responsibility when they don’t.
- You are an excellent communicator. You are always aware of your audience and thinking of the best ways to reach them. With players, you listen carefully with authenticity and transparency to help them understand the decisions we make as developers.
Some of your role:
- You will lead multidisciplinary efforts to establish an overall vision and strategy for the broad, interconnected feature set that makes up the Hytale Online experience.
- You will heavily influence strategic efforts and critical decisions across all of Hytale.
- You will own the prioritization of initiatives, balancing efforts and investments to create the best possible online experience for players.
- You will establish strong practices for leveraging player data and market research to make the best decisions for players.
- You will be a leader in the production discipline – sharing your knowledge, offering training and mentorship, and generally helping other producers grow in their craft.
Essential Traits:
