Unannounced Studio - Level Designer

We’re searching for a Level Designer to join us at a new studio being lead by a Veteran Game Designer to push the boundaries of what the FPS Genre can be.

The Job

Help bring worlds and levels to life within Unreal Engine 5. You will:

• Work closely with the Creative Director to translate the vision of the game to practical level design
• Block out “grey box” levels that are representative of the creative intent.
• Evangelize playtesting. Champion feedback. Then, iterate quickly.
• Define scope and then acquire or create assets needed to execute.
• Partner with environment artists early and often as a team to drive look and feel in parallel.
• Significantly contribute to the studio’s level design best-practices

Qualifications

• Have 4 years or more of experience as a level designer
• Have shipped at least 1 AAA Unreal engine game
• Co-Op and/or Multiplayer level design experience – you know how to build spaces for more than one player at a time
  

To be considered for a Senior position, you will:

• Have extensive experience leading small teams of level designers
• Expert level understanding of partnering & working with other department managers (especially art)
• Ability to manage up and maintain highly-productive working relationship with the creative director and other studio leadership

For this position, we are hiring on talent and cultural fit first and foremost, but extra points for:

• Co-Op and Multiplayer games experience, or at least a strong desire to work on games of this type
• Broad portfolio of work that demonstrates realistic environments that are highly playable
• College degree or coursework with studies in design arts (architecture, industrial design, etc)

Please come work with us if any of this sounds exciting to you:

• You like being on the ground floor of something new; feel excited about contributing to a company culture.
• Love learning new tools and technologies, and don’t mind teaching others how to use them
• Good with wearing a few hats and getting your hands dirty –at least for now. We are starting something new here and everyone is expected to contribute to the game design
• Want to work from (almost) anywhere in the world –including your home

Salary Ranges (USD):

• Staff Level: $75,000 - $115,000
