Hazelight is an independently owned game development studio led by Josef Fares director and writer of A Way Out, Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons, and our upcoming game It Takes Two.
At Hazelight we like to push creative boundaries by constantly exploring new interesting concepts. Story-driven games and extraordinary experiences will always be the focus of our creations.
We have a unique opportunity to join our studio as a Level Design Lead. You might be wondering what does a level design lead do at Hazelight? in this role, you will supervise and collaborate with a team of talented level designers and other game developers.
At Hazelight all designers have a lot of creative freedom and ownership over their own work. As a lead, you will be the person who will be planning, guiding, and mentoring each level designer, as well as feedbacking over their creations. Another part of the role will be spent working hands-on as a level designer, this would entail prototyping ideas, implementing gameplay mechanics, and creating levels with interesting game design concepts in close collaboration with the creative director and other teams.

- Strong interest in game design.
- A true team player, you are able to collaborate with the entire team in the pursuit of always finding the best possible solutions for the game.

Nice to have:
