Senior Game Designer – Contract
Job Description:
• Create immersive, “in-world” interfaces that feel native to the narrative rather than overlaid on top of it.
• Design and document complex gameplay loops that support narrative progression, player choice, and state-based outcomes
• Shape how players receive information through visual, textual, and sensory cues — including state changes, progression signals, and emotional feedback.
• Help define and curate guidelines for AI-generated assets (portraits, environments, landscapes), ensuring stylistic cohesion and narrative integrity.
• Work closely with creative, design, and technical partners to ensure systems, visuals, and storytelling are deeply aligned.
Requirements:
• 5–8+ years of experience in game design, interactive narrative, or systems-driven visual design
• Strong understanding of diegetic UI and immersive interface design
• Proven experience designing complex systems, loops, and progression models
• Exceptional visual sensibility paired with clear systems thinking
• Comfort working with ambiguity and helping define new frameworks from scratch
• Ability to document thinking clearly for cross-functional teams
• Major Plus: TTRPG literacy (D&D, narrative tabletop systems, or similar) – Familiarity with branching narratives, player agency, and emergent storytelling is a big win.
Benefits:
• Flexible, Hybrid Work Environment
• Great Compensation with Annual Reviews (Learn more about our Pay Philosophy)
• 401(k) Matching with Immediate Vesting
• Robust Medical, Vision, and Accident Insurance
• Generous Paid Holidays and unlimited PTO
• Sabbaticals
• Monthly Wellbeing Stipend
• Career Management and Leadership Training
