Level Designer

About the role

Equal Games Industries (EGI) is looking for a Level Designer to join the team building [REDACTED], an original action game developed in Unreal Engine 5.8. The project has been in development for 6 months. You'll help shape mission spaces, encounter pacing, and player flow across a game built around a five-element combat system and a rich original sci-fi/fantasy world.

What You'll Do

• Design and block out mission spaces, encounter arenas, and traversal paths in Unreal Engine 5.8
• Build wave structures and enemy encounter pacing that showcase the elemental combat system
• Collaborate with narrative, art, and programming leads to align level layouts with lore and mission scripts
• Iterate on level flow based on playtesting feedback
• Contribute to level design documentation and folder/content structure standards

What We're Looking For

• Familiarity with Unreal Engine (Blueprint scripting a plus, but not required)
• An eye for pacing, encounter design, and spatial storytelling
• Comfort working from design docs, lore bibles, and asynchronous team collaboration
• Self-motivated — able to own a level or mission from greybox through polish

Portfolio or prior level design work (personal projects, mods, or professional) welcome, but not required — we're open to all experience levels

What You'll Get

• Revenue share on the title upon release
• A collaborative role on a fully original IP — worldbuilding, systems, and narrative all built in-house
• Direct creative input alongside the Founder/Creative Director and a tight-knit, cross-disciplinary team
• Portfolio-worthy experience shipping a real, structured indie project in UE5.8
