Interested in making a difference designing and building exciting games?

Overview
Stormfront Studios is looking for an experienced, creative, and highly motivated Level Designer to join our talented team in the creation of our next blockbuster title!

If you've got the chops and drive to bring an exciting license to life across multiple platforms, we'd like to hear from you.

Job Function
If the game isn't fun to play, then nothing else matters. Our Level Designers are responsible for creating worlds filled with fun gameplay in close collaboration with our Engineering, Art, Audio and QA departments. Stormfront's Design team believes in rapid iteration and prototyping early on in the process, promoting designs built on solid gameplay fundamentals. Our Level Designers create engaging moment-to-moment experiences that serve and drive an overall design vision.

Qualifications

• Experience as a Level Designer on one or more console games from inception to final ship, with responsibility for designing and creating level geometry, placing enemies and objects, and scripting game events.
  
• Deep gaming experience and interest across multiple genres and hardware platforms, including XBox 360 and Wii.
• Strong 3D visualization and world editing skills. 3Ds Max and Sketchup experience a plus.
• Passion and ability to combine elements of exploration, collection, puzzle solving and combat into a cohesive and fun experience.
• Excellent communication skills, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines to produce innovative designs.
