Arcadia is the world's first sports platform that combines Esports with real athletics. Instead of avatars, athletes use their bodies as controllers inside competitive video games in front of live interactive audiences. Arcadia is creating a new category in sports unlike anything athletes or audiences have experienced before: SuperSports

We're building the first ever Athletic Video Games to be played in our large scale Multiplayer VR Arena that allows 12 players to run around and compete against each other in virtual worlds - and our first title Parallels is prime for an expansion in levels! The Level Designer will lead the initiative and work with our team to create many new levels for our athletes and audiences to enjoy.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

  • Develop levels using Unreal Engine and Sequencer for existing large scale VR games.
  • Create level concepts, block them out in the engine’s level editor and ensure a playable prototype throughout production.
  • Continuously improve and balance the maps/levels for competitive gameplay.
  • Work hand-in-hand with the founders, programmers and artists.
  • Imagine, prototype and propose ideas for new game mechanics.
  • Independently manage and track progress against deadlines.
  • Efficiently communicate progress and hurdles to other team members.

WHAT WE LOOK FOR:

  • 2+ years of experience developing levels with Unreal Engine.
  • Strong knowledge of Sequencer.
  • Ability to use Blueprint scripting to prototype or adjust existing game mechanics.
  • Understanding of the software/hardware requirements for Unreal Engine, 3D assets, textures and optimizing for high frame rates in VR.
  • Ability to pay close attention to details and deliver a polished, finished product.
  • Someone with strong focus on the user experience and understanding of difficulty, progression and flow.
  • Ability to work independently while also collaborating in a team environment.
  • Strong ability to present your work to other team members.
  • The ideal candidate will be organized, able to work and coordinate on multiple projects and quickly pivot between them, while communicating with the team to meet our project goals.

BONUS:

  • 3D Modeling Skills
  • Materials and Textures creation skills
  • Experience with Multiplayer game development
  • Experience with VR/AR gaming and development
  • Experience developing Free-Roam VR Games
  • Experience with UE4 virtual production
  • Experience with video production

Please include a Portfolio/website demonstrating your level design history.

We look forward to reviewing your application to The Arcadia Games!

Arcadia is an equal opportunity employer and is proud to foster a workplace free from discrimination. We strongly believe that diversity of experience, perspectives, and background will lead to a better environment for our employees and a better product for our customers.
