About the Position:

We are seeking an experienced Game Designer who has the instincts and experiences to support and mentor aspiring youth game creators.


The Game Design Mentor will function as a 'player-coach' across a portfolio of game projects being developed by members of the Endless Studios community. By working with university students, high school students, members of the core Endless Studios team, and other aspiring game creators to design game narratives, mechanics, and user experiences, you will help bring their visions to life. Through your approach, modeling, and mentorship, you will help them understand the intricacies of game design, foster a robust game conceptualization process, and nurture the next generation of outstanding game designers.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Mentoring aspiring game creators in the art of game design, modeling effective design practice, leadership, and collaboration;
  • Contributing to Endless Studios projects by crafting game narratives and designing game mechanics;
  • Coordinating (and assisting Endless Studios teams in coordinating) the design efforts of both participants and Endless Studios staff on collaborative projects;
  • Assisting project teams in evaluating design concepts, level designs, prototypes, and user experiences and in making decisions on how to approach their projects;
  • Providing participants with feedback and coaching on their game design work, as well as their developmental progress;
  • Contributing to the development of learning content in Endless Studios' design learning pathway;
  • Developing and promulgating design standards and procedures for Endless Studios projects;
  • Troubleshooting challenges and conflicts as they arise;
  • Communicating effectively both with the game development teams as well as domain experts;
  • Contributing to an exciting, innovative, and supportive work environment.


Desired Experience and Skills:

  • Minimum 5+ years game design experience;
  • A background in coaching, training, mentoring or teaching -- and empowering -- less experienced game designers, for example, teaching game design at the university or youth-program level;
  • Prior experience in utilizing design tools and software, including experience with the Unity engine (or an equivalent game engine);
  • Ability to communicate effectively with engineers, producers, artists, and other game-making professionals;
  • Passion for mentoring aspiring game creators.


It's a bonus if you have:

  • Shipped one or more games in Unity with a strong emphasis on design;
  • Samples of completed game projects showcasing your direct contributions to game design;
  • Prior experience teaching game design -- or collaborating with others to design games -- in an online or virtual setting.


About Endless Studios:

Endless Studios is a youth-centered studio where the next generation of creators apprentice with professionals to create worlds and develop games. Inspired by the collective culture of open source software communities and the creative culture of game modding communities, Endless Studios operates as a globally distributed, massively open youth-focused game making studio and learning community. Through prior products like Minecraft.Edu, Gamestar Mechanic, The Endless Mission, Terminal Two, and XPrize Connect Code Games Challenge, the founding team at Endless Studios has touched the lives of millions over the past 10 years.
