San Mateo, California, United States 31ST UNION Full time
Game World Architect

We are 31ST UNION, a diverse team of developers driven by a passion for our art, united by our core values and inspired by a culture of inclusivity to build amazing games that thrill players everywhere. Our culture is built on the belief that the more varied voices in our collective will strengthen our team and our games. We are currently working on Project ETHOS, a new free-to-play, 3rd person rogue-like hero shooter and an exciting evolution on the genre.

We're looking for a Senior World/Level Designer with proven experience in building world spaces through all development phases, who is eager to create inspiring worlds from scratch, and applies their technical skill and creative passion to continuously improve the game through an iterative process. We want people who think differently at every step and help us to create a broadly appealing product that resonates with the widest set of fans possible.

Responsibilities:
  • Design, pitch, & hone world spaces/levels from inception to completion to post-launch. Examine desired player experience goals and introduce designs that help support and enhance that experience.
  • Be an equal voice within the design team for making both large- and small-scale decisions throughout the project.
  • Collaborate extensively with various disciplines such as animation, UI, environment art, and sound, while working closely with core engineering teams.
  • Understand how world design fits into the overall creation direction of the game, both on a macro and micro level.
  • Perform daily hands-on engine work to bring ideas to life, while continuously implementing and refining game spaces based on direction and playtest feedback.
Required Qualifications:
  • 4-5 years minimum or 2+ shipped titles in a World/Level Design role, preferably in the Multiplayer/Action genre.
  • A portfolio showcasing extensive experience in creating maps, levels, or worlds using modern game engines (Unreal, Unity, etc.).
  • In-depth understanding of the iterative level design process, from initial concept through post-ship support, with the ability to iterate and collaborate effectively under deadlines and production constraints.
  • Adept at critiquing and evaluating 3D spaces, with a deep understanding of world-building concepts (flow, landmarking, scale, visibility, metrics) and how art, color, lighting, and composition enhance gameplay design.
  • Rock-solid understanding of the interplay between systems and world spaces, with the ability to design spaces that highlight player abilities in interesting and creative ways.
  • Skilled in rapid iteration using diverse feedback sources, such as peer reviews, data analytics, and player surveys, with the ability to transform large volumes of feedback into concrete, actionable improvements.
Relevant Experience:
  • A passion for diversity & representation in games & game development.
  • Experience working with multiplayer games or systems, along with some programming experience in both code and visual scripting (e.g., C++, C#, Blueprint, Kismet).
  • Backgrounds in art/architecture/CS/etc. a plus
