Technical Game Designer

We're looking for a technically-minded designer who can dream up and then build a wide variety of lively prototypes.

Our new game is about interactions with urban wildlife so the prototypes will focus mostly on trying to create a sense of life with gameplay that feels fleshy, surprising, and strange. Like a scene where you're a ladybug crawling on a hand and player control switches back and forth between being the ladybug and being the hand. Or any of the scenes from this reference video we made but with more of a Jim Henson vibe.

You'll be joining a small, senior team (4 people for the next year) and you should be skillful and scrappy enough to single-handedly develop initial ideas into playable 3D prototypes. They don't have to be beautiful, just emotionally expressive.
