We are building open world roleplaying shooter games and we need someone who can handle both the level design and game design side of things.

This is a hybrid role. You'll build the worlds and also design what goes in them — items, quests, encounters, UI elements. You'll work with a small team, have a lot of responsibility, and see your work in players' hands quickly.

What you'll do:

• Design and build open world levels and environments in Unreal Engine 5
• Create world layouts with meaningful exploration, missions, and encounters
• Design combat spaces that work for shooter gameplay
• Design and balance items, loot, quests, and progression systems
• Work on UI design and implementation for in-game menus, HUD, and player-facing systems
• Own your work from blockout to polish
• Iterate based on playtester and player feedback

What we offer:

• Paid full-time position with revenue share on projects you contribute to
• Free VGS ULTIMATE subscription for you and your family
• Flexible hours — we care about what you deliver, not when you're online
• Direct collaboration with studio leadership

Requirements:

• Strong experience with Unreal Engine 5 level design tools
• At least one commercially shipped game — any size, any platform
• Experience designing open world or large-scale environments in UE5 — comfortable with World Partition, HLODs, level streaming
• Understanding of shooter-level design — cover, sightlines, encounter pacing
• Familiarity with RPG design principles — quests, items, loot, progression
• Experience with UI design or implementation in UE5 (UMG or similar)
• Able to work independently and manage your own time

Nice to have:

• Experience with AI navigation and encounter design
• Background in worldbuilding or narrative design
• Experience with game balancing and economy design

Not a good fit if:

• You haven't shipped a game commercially before
• You need regular supervision to stay on track

Additional details:

• Location: Remote (Worldwide)
• Type: Full-Time
• Compensation: Paid + Revenue Share
