  • Collaborate with writers, worldbuilders, artists, and programmers to ensure quests and levels align with the game’s vision and mechanics.
  • Partner with dedicated level designers when needed, particularly in combat level design, to achieve the best gameplay flow.
  • Use visual scripting tools to implement quest logic, level events, and detailed mission flow documentation.
  • Playtest quests and levels, gather feedback, and iterate based on player experience and development team insights.
  • Maintain high-quality standards, ensuring quests and levels are polished, balanced, and free of bugs or design inconsistencies.

What We Are Looking For:

  • At least 3 years of experience in quest or level design for video games, with a strong portfolio demonstrating expertise in both areas.
  • Proficiency in visual scripting tools such as Unreal Engine Blueprints, with experience in other game engines as a plus.
  • Strong ability to craft engaging linear narratives, design compelling levels, and create seamless gameplay experiences.
  • A keen aesthetic sense for film-style performance, ensuring high-quality storytelling through gameplay and cinematic integration.
  • Excellent teamwork and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across multiple disciplines for cohesive game design.
  • Strong critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, capable of refining quests and levels based on feedback.
  • A meticulous approach to maintaining the quality and consistency of all content created.
  • Fluent in English (knowledge of Mandarin is a plus, but not required).

We are an equal opportunity employer that believes diverse backgrounds are key to bringing our concepts to life. If you're looking to play a key role in creating the best immersive virtual world experience for our users, we invite you to join our team.
