Content Designer, Unannounced Super Fun Video Game
Who We Are Ahoy there! We're Second Dinner! Perhaps you've heard of our first game, MARVEL SNAP? Mobile Game of the Year? That was just the beginning! Our next generation of games is "mad hype" and we're excited to make another blockbuster hit. (This time, with you!) The people here are uber-talented, and bring a bunch of diverse perspectives to the craft of makin' games. If you can bring something new to the table and expand our point of view, that's a huge upside. OH! And we're fully remote throughout the United States!! So you can totally apply and nobody will be mad at you. This Specific Team (It's a New Game!) We're working on something new, with a wildly exciting partner. The team is pretty small right now (~20 rad folks), so you can make a HUGE impact helping shape this thing. We just passed a big milestone and are ready to step on the gas. This Is Where You Come In As a Content Designer, you will design and implement awesome content that players will love. It's not easy to churn out great idea after great idea and then also take those ideas all the way into the game and will them into existence, but HEY. That's why you're here. Whether its missions, stories, items, heroes, or abilities - you will design it, build it in-engine, and then bask in the glory of your creations. (We will bask too; we love basking.) What You'll Do: • Be a design firehose who can create endless, delightful content like characters, abilities, puzzles, bosses, and more! • Get all the way in and implement your designs yourself in-engine. We're using the Godot engine. It's ok if you don't already know how to use Godot, as long as you can learn it quickly. But this is not a role where you create stuff and then hand it off. We're looking for generalists who can implement their own work • Make sure the content is tuned and balanced for maximum fun • Create mock-ups and documentation that clearly expresses your ideas to excite and inspire the team • Collaborate with our world-class IP partner to create something that's authentic and delightful together Describe the Perfect Candidate? Don't Mind If I Do: • You're a generalist who understands that the best designers are also capable of making their own dreams reality - whether that requires designing a UX flow, pulling together assets, obsessing over the perfect wording on a tooltip, or getting in there and writing code yourself • You love wielding the latest technology to move lightning fast • You understand how content and meta loops intertwine to give players compelling goals, like a juicy Hero Collector might do • You love working with ridiculously talented people and making great stuff • You will apply for this job HEY! Go apply already. What's the worst that could happen? If we reject your application you can just be like "ah I didn't want that job anyway" and then we both move on with our lives The total compensation for this position includes a new hire offer base salary range of $135,000 - $175,000 USD + equity + comprehensive benefits + potential for discretionary performance bonuses.
