Technical Game Designer
Remote - US and Canada only
We are a small studio dedicated to crafting unique and high-quality interactive experiences, and we are looking for a talented designer-programmer hybrid who will collaborate with both the engineering and design teams. The goal in this role is to drive the creation and improvement of core gameplay and technical systems and tools highly tuned for the level of rich feedback and player immersion that helped define our games.
An example week for this person might be: Attend a design meeting and discover the need for a new camera feature to support a new content release. Program the camera feature and jump into the level editor to test and refine its implementation. Then, improve the level editor's toolset to enable the rest of the design team to make full use of your new feature in future levels. Of course, the role isn't limited to just camera features. Any interactive system applies - procedural animation, cloth simulation, player controls, AI creatures, NPC interactions - use your imagination!
What you'll do here:

Perks:
We look forward to meeting you!
Applicants must be authorized to work for any employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time.
The salary range for this position is $80,000 USD to $140,000 USD annually, with the
opportunity to earn an annual discretionary bonus. This salary range is an estimate, and
the actual salary may vary based on the Company's compensation practices.
Employees in this position are eligible to participate in the Company's standard
employee benefit programs, which currently include the following: medical, dental, vision,
401k, and paid time off.
Our base pay is benchmarked against regional market and industry data and is adjusted to reflect the cost of living in your specific geographic area.
