As a Level Designer at Embark, you will be responsible for creating the levels for a unique and innovative high quality 3D game. You will be working closely together with the artists, game designers and the rest of the game team to make great playgrounds for our game to take place. From concept, through paper design, greyboxing and final implementation you will be iterating on the levels to create the best canvas for varied and interesting gameplay, using the full range of the gameplay mechanics in our toolbox, including destruction, vehicles, character abilities, weapons and items, as well as the game modes, their rules and game objectives.

As a designer you are curious and eager to embrace novel ideas and concepts (your own and others’), and you enjoy working out how a new mechanic or player experience can be incorporated into your levels for emphasis and player volition. At the same time you are able to leverage your experience on “what works” for player navigation, player vs. player flow, chokeholds and map control as well as how it is being presented to players. And you are an expert at analyzing, articulating and solving problems in level layouts, to achieve the best playing levels.

Examples of responsibilities
- Be the gameplay champion for your levels
- Widen the pool of player/world interactivity from a level design perspective
- Design, present, mock-up and iterate on levels and ideas for levels
- Work closely with the artists and tech to drive the aesthetics and performance of your levels
- Some amount of scripting and setting up game modes on your levels
- Responsive to player feedback, telemetry and live data to refine and hone the player experience and balance on your levels


We would love if you have
- Passion for and experience with high quality hands-on 3D game building
- Proficiency with the Unreal Engine 4, level building and some blueprint/scripting experience
- Experience from AAA live service and/or F2P games
- Advocacy for the player experience and their creative involvement
- Enjoyment of creative collaboration - eager to design and share with others
- Some familiarity with coding practice, art pipelines and systems design


At Embark we offer competitive salaries, a generous profit-sharing program, and much more, but most of all we invite you to take part of a journey into the unknown, to build creative, surprising and beautiful experiences together.

We welcome people from all backgrounds and are looking forward to reading more about you (in English)!

We're the Curie Team, and we’re creating new magic. Interested in joining us in building a new world of adventures? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity for someone who wants to be a part of building a next-generation MMO from the ground up!

We love horses and the community that has been built around the Star Stable Online universe, but we are ready to move out of our comfort zone into a new world of adventures... without horses .

THE QUEST

We have a vision of the new game, but we need more than that. So this is where we hope you will build some magic together with us.

The Level Designer will maximise the interactivity and playfulness of the world of Curie!

To be successful, you need to be an environmental storyteller at heart. We need you to create spaces that match and elevate the gameplay alongside the theme and narrative. You set the mood of each area to tell our stories.

We're at the beginning of our journey and preparing to move into Pre-Production on this title that will let players explore epic worlds, build connections with others, and express themselves creatively. We like stories, but we also think the most compelling stories are those the players tell themselves. Our flagship MMO Star Stable Online is in its 10th year of continuous updates with a community that continues to grow in size and passion. That’s our bar for success.

THE MISSION FOR THE TEAM

This new game is something totally different, so the team that builds it really needs to be daring and driven and have our values in the backpack. We all need to be good collaborators and communicators.

We know that we will try small and fail fast. We will be open to feedback and let our audience grow with us. We know when to ask for help and how to share our knowledge with others. And we do know that at this stage, perfection is the enemy of success.

To help you during this journey you will have a whole company with many years of experience and support functions. You’ll join our growing team in shaping the vision and bringing this new product to life to delight new audiences.

WHAT YOU BRING

It is important for us that we all share passion and excitement around ambitious games that grow in dialogue with their audience. This project and this role requires you to have a pioneer mindset and enjoy experimenting and breaking new ground.

Our team is small, lean, and close-knit. We love to work towards the same goals through self-ownership and autonomous but collaborative workflows. The Level Designer must be comfortable working with procedurally generated (procgen) spaces. Having an understanding of the technical impacts of your level design choices, as well as an eye for the aesthetics of the spaces you build.

Additionally, you will need to roughly sketch out maps and level designs to share with the team and execute on.

ABOUT STAR STABLE ENTERTAINMENT

We are a passionate and happy bunch of 160+ creative brains from 20 different countries, dedicated to creating immersive and inspiring experiences for a global audience of girls. Founded in 2011 in Stockholm, Sweden, we are the makers of the popular adventure game Star Stable Online - the currently #1 ranked and fastest-growing horse game in the world.

Over the years we have extended our product line to music, publishing, and several apps, continuously working to improve, grow and fulfill what’s at the heart of our mission - to inspire, to celebrate the power of sisterhood, and to have a meaningful global impact, transforming the gaming industry into a more open-minded and inclusive environment.

PS. It turns out that we are one of the most diverse gaming companies in Stockholm, and of course we like to keep it that way. So no matter who you are, apply now! We’re keen to hear more about you! Visa mindre

Someone with 3+ years of experience as a Level Artist in the video games industry.
Proficient in current generation industry-standard tools and workflows, such as Maya, Photoshop and Houdini.
Preferably someone with documented knowledge and experience creating assets and environments using photogrammetry in real-time game engines, such as Frostbite or Unreal.

An active contributor to the craft, promoting a transparent and learning culture within the team.
