- Collaborate closely with Engineering, Art, UX/UI, Production, Product Analytics, QA, Audio, Community, and other designers to bring features from concept to release.
- Use playtests, player feedback, telemetry, and live data to identify opportunities and improve level flow, pacing, difficulty, clarity, and engagement.
- Help define and maintain standards for level readability, player guidance, pacing, difficulty curves, fairness, and accessibility.
- Partner with other designers to ensure that new gameplay systems integrate effectively across levels, modes, and player experiences.
What We're Looking For
- Significant professional experience in level design, gameplay design, or a related discipline, ideally in multiplayer or live-service games.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating shipped levels, game modes, objectives, or multiplayer gameplay experiences.
- Strong understanding of level-design fundamentals, including layout, flow, pacing, spatial composition, player guidance, difficulty, readability, and replayability.
- Experience developing level-design guidelines, standards, and documentation that can be adopted by a broader team.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to gather feedback, align stakeholders, and iterate effectively.
- Strong analytical mindset, with the ability to use playtest results, player feedback, and data to improve designs.
- Experience working with level editors, prototyping tools, scripting systems, or other game-development tools.
- Ability to work independently, take ownership of complex design problems, and thrive in a highly collaborative environment.
- Experience with party games, competitive multiplayer games, character-based gameplay, or live-service development is a plus.
