That would be the game designers' and game director's job. The listing in the article is for a VFX artist, who is working on the visual side at the direction of the game director.
Just screaming "make the game more fun!" at VFX artists is misplaced. These people are necessary on games, but unless it's a small/single person team, they don't have any hand in the game design mechanics aside from implementing what is coming from the director.
Nothing in the job listing seems like it is looking for a revolutionary destruction system. That seems like flourish added by article. It looks like a much more mundanely written job listing for destruction VFX, which is a role that shouldn't be surprising in any way in a military shooter.
Guess the headline shoulda been slightly better written to clarify.
