What is a Remote 3D Game Designer?

A Remote 3D Game Designer is a professional who creates 3D art assets, environments, and interactive elements for video games while working from a location outside of a traditional office, often from home. They collaborate with other game developers, such as programmers and artists, using online tools to design engaging gameplay experiences and visually compelling worlds. Their responsibilities typically include modeling, texturing, lighting, and sometimes animating 3D objects, as well as ensuring their work fits within the technical constraints of the game engine.

How does a Remote 3D Game Designer effectively collaborate with team members across different locations and time zones?

As a Remote 3D Game Designer, collaboration typically happens through a mix of project management tools, cloud-based design platforms, and regular virtual meetings. You’ll coordinate closely with artists, programmers, and producers using tools like Slack, Trello, or Jira, and share assets through platforms such as Unity Collab or GitHub. Time zone differences require clear communication, flexible scheduling, and thorough documentation to keep everyone aligned. Strong organizational skills and proactive updates help ensure your designs integrate smoothly with the broader vision, despite the physical distance.

Job description

Technical Game Designer

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!

  • Visual scripting
  • Multiplayer game development
  • Online operation of a live game
  • Maya or 3D game engines
  • Portfolio of your work
  • Ok to take a test as part of our process

Nice to haves:
  • Seek adventure and uncertainty in exploring experimental and risky game concepts
  • Believe in the practice of rapid prototyping and relentless iteration
  • Have a desire to create meaningful, enriching experiences that touch and inspire players

Perks:
  • Paid Time Off, Holidays and Two Weeks Winter Break
  • Employees and their dependents get medical, dental, and vision coverage, regardless of their level, tenure, or position within the company. Moreover, these benefits start on the first day of the job-there's no waiting period before they kick in.
  • Pet Insurance for those who need it too.
  • Compassionate leave for employees who needs to take care of their family members
  • Pre-tax wellness stipend
  • Pre-tax work from home stipend
  • Access our savings plan (401K program) with company match
  • Mental health resources including Headspace membership and Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Discount portal for everyday goods and services
  • Employee inclusive and diversity initiatives such as Grow Together
  • Support for personal professional development

We look forward to meeting you!
