Senior Level Designer

About this role

Responsibilities

• As a Level Designer, you are responsible for the design and construction of levels, gameplay spaces and challenges, working mainly within Unreal. You have a keen eye for fun combat action, environmental composition and guidance, both in a first-person perspective and in a cooperative action game environment. Additional skillsets needed are visual scripting proficiency, low-level feature implementation, and work documentation.
• Aside from crafting high-quality gameplay spaces, the Level Designer role requires communication, drive, creativity, and flexibility. At Fatshark, we separate the level design and level art roles, but an element of both mindsets are needed as the role bridges both design and art.
• Your task is to create excellent player experiences through gameplay space design and the challenges they may contain. You’ll collaborate across teams and disciplines, from art and design to QA and production, in order to make the best game possible and uphold the game vision and quality targets on time. Working in a field where multiple crafts come together, feedback, issue flagging, and teamwork skills are crucial in your daily work.
• Create great levels and gameplay for first-person action co-op games
• Design, plan out, and build levels and challenges in Unreal, from start to finish, balancing aesthetics, function vs. form relationships, performance and fun
