Role: Experienced Game Designer
Location: Remote (UK/Europe preferred)
Hours: Part time or full time
Duration: 6 Months (with option to extend to FT employment contract)
Current Team Size: 5
We’re looking for an experienced game designer to join our team at Land & Sea! This role will play a key part in the development of an all-new original IP.
We’re a small, remote team working across multiple time-zones. There is a degree of flexibility built into the role, and you are free to define your own schedule, providing reasonable overlap with our core UK hours.
We’re looking for someone who embraces minimalist sensibilities, and values a “less is more” approach to design. You’re not afraid to throw away ideas, and relish the opportunity to reduce scope in favour of preserving clarity and maximising the strengths of a small team. You are someone who cares about details, no matter how small. You take pride in your work and hold yourself to a higher standard than most. You welcome constructive feedback, thrive in a self-directed environment and are comfortable wearing many hats.
Land & Sea is based in the South West of England, however this position is remote. While we are open to applicants from around the world, applicants from the UK and Europe are preferred. However, if you meet the requirements and don’t mind ensuring your hours reasonably overlap with ours, please apply, wherever you are!
We are open to a number of possibilities in terms of how this role is structured. For the right candidate, we would consider full-time, part-time and hourly contract arrangements, depending on availability and other factors.
Land & Sea is a small team crafting meaningful, highly polished games that seek to add value to the lives of our players. We are an inclusive studio that seeks to provide a healthy and supportive work environment for our team, and prioritise sustainable work practices such as realistic hours and zero crunch.
We’d love to hear from you if you are interested in this role! We will follow up with suitable applications as soon as possible.
Kind regards
– The Land & Sea Team
