Senior Level
Designer

The levels don't exist yet. You'll join during exploration, working from paper maps through whitebox to a polished 30–45 minute vertical slice, helping decide not just how the levels play, but what they are. This is a game about a world that rewards returning: layered exploration, creating spaces with new understanding, and a healthy dose of the impossible. Very light on platforming, heavy on curiosity.

About you

• Experience designing 3D environmental puzzle or open-world spaces, including traversal-and-puzzle games in the action-adventure genre

• Level design work taken to shipped, polished quality

• Fluency in a modern 3D engine (we use Unity, so deep Unity experience is a bonus, not a bar)

• A portfolio with levels we can actually look at and evaluate how you think about spatial problems. We don't set design tests, so your existing work does the talking

• Experience developing for PC or console

• Work independently and seek support when needed from appropriate sources

Desirable:

• Experience working in Unity Engine

• Has helped deliver elements of design to shippable quality on at least 2 projects

What you'll be doing

• Curating a world and creating well balanced levels that consider pacing and difficultly

• Iterate based on playtesting and feedback

• Designing and building levels in Unity with our internal tools, from paper map to whitebox to polish

• Balancing pacing and difficulty across a connected world, not a level list

• Running your work through internal and external playtests, and iterating on what you learn

• Collaborating daily with art, programming and the wider team; articulating design intent clearly, without hand-holding

• Helping define key game features beyond the levels themselves

• This role is a 12 month fixed-term contract, salaried as a preference, but we are also open to day-rate contractors. 

• For Fixed term hires, most benefits are offered and matched to our permanent team: BUPA private medical, pension, profit share, flexible working, enhanced parental leave, 25 days holiday plus paid sick leave.

• We can hire Hybrid or Remote, with hours that overlap the team's.

• Time together at our London (Oval) studio is encouraged where possible, especially early on, but we're not limiting this search by geography. Our preference is to have some weekly in-studio time, but we will consider strong applicants who are based anywhere in the UK or Europe, with preparedness for travel to the studio regularly.
