Game designer (The Lift)

EuropeSerbiaRemoteSenior

We are looking for an experienced, versatile game designer for the project The Lift - an atmospheric game with systemic mechanics and elements of immersive sim, where the player takes on the role of a mysterious repairman restoring an abandoned research complex after a catastrophe. It's a blend of repair, exploration, and the supernatural, inspired by the aesthetics of Soviet science fiction. The game designer will be responsible for the design and implementation of the complete game experience on the location, from concept to engine integration. The tasks include creating and configuring game flow, events, interactive elements, and interaction logic based on input from the game director and the narrative team.

What's important to us

• You have released projects where your contribution is visible (Steam, itch.io, consoles - it doesn't matter, what matters is that the project was actually released);
• Systemic thinking and understanding how each mechanic or feature integrates into the overall flow of the location and the game;
• You think through the player's game experience, not through a document;
• You work independently but interact comfortably with other disciplines;
• Conversational English (B1 and above).

Will be a plus

• Extensive playtime in games of the immersive sim, Puzzle Adventure, Repair Simulation genres;
• Experience working as a feature owner.

We offer:

• Fully remote work;
• Transparent conditions and market-level compensation;
• High level of creative freedom and lack of bureaucracy;
• Flexible work schedule;
• A healthy and respectful atmosphere within the team.
