  • You have the ability drive level design through each applicable stage of production: concept, wireframe, prototype, implementation, and refinement through to final sign-off.
  • Reviewing games from player experience perspective and give constructive feedback to game teams to help to refine the best possible content experience is your passion.
  • You are incredibly focused on top-quality and efficient content production.

You have experience in F2P games both as a designer and a player, you follow closely what is happening in the market, and are able to distill the best ideas to your own work.

We’re looking for team members who bring their own creative vision and passion into everything they do. If that describes you, this is a great opportunity to work in a fun and creative environment with skilled coworkers, contribute to a captivating new product, and expose your work to a global audience.
