  • Work closely with the gameplay teams to define the metrics necessary for the low-level design of our world.
  • Assist the tech team in enhancing the tools needed to meet the project's level and world design needs.
  • Work alongside art and narrative leadership to design and deliver environments in line with the lore and visual goals.

Who you are

  • A passionate gamer, preferably with a love for open-world and online games.
  • A designer who can tell stories and support narrative through environmental storytelling.
  • Experienced working in cross-discipline teams to deliver high-quality content.
  • A team member who can develop productive, lasting relationships across all disciplines.
  • You are motivated, flexible, approachable, and will champion quality across the team.
  • An individual with excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.

How you will grow

At Sharkmob we want you to be the best you can be. That is why in this role, we will help you to learn and develop skills in:

  • Taking ownership of the delivery of significant parts of our world and level design content for a big-budget, online title.
  • Enhancing the world and level design over time, post-release, based on the feedback of our playing community.
  • Playing a key role in a AAA team through proof of concept, pre-production and production.
