Senior Mission Designer

Bit Reactor, LLC
Maryland, NY Full Time
POSTED ON 3/30/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 4/27/2025
Who We're Looking For:

At Bit Reactor, mission design incorporates level design, encounter design, and objective design. The ideal candidate has experience in each of these disciplines in the 3D tactics space. Mission design collaborates with environment artists to build the space, combat design to stand up enemy engagements, and with a variety of disciplines to ensure tactical objectives work well.

We're looking for a designer who's knowledgeable about tactics games and what makes moment-to-moment gameplay fun, and can use that understanding to bring to life fun levels and engagements. The ideal candidate the know-how and experience necessary to process our design needs quickly and move forward independently. Working with oversight from the lead mission designer, this person will own chunks of gameplay that they'll shepherd from greybox prototype to shippable level.

Responsibilities:

  • Create blockout levels using Unreal Engine 5 that serve both as proposals for spaces and encounter testbed.
  • Author mission and objective logic in encounters to make the level's end-to-end experience flow properly with the rest of the game.
  • Serve as product owner for a playable space, helping to connect disciplines and ensure the level's stability and quality.
  • Collaborate with environment art to take a space from blockout to final art.
  • Collaborate with engineering to standup new objectives and scripted events, identify issues, and work with stakeholders to get them working.
  • Collaborate with combat design to implement new enemy types, integrate them into existing spawn groups, and tune the difficulty of encounters.
  • Playtest other designers' levels, offer critical feedback, and advocate for the best version of the game.
  • Own documentation of new features or suites of content as needs emerge.

Qualifications:

  • 5 years of experience in the game industry as a level designer or mission designer
  • Experience working in the tactics space
  • Experience working in Unreal 5 and Blueprints
  • Experience with combat encounter composition, combat enemy roles, and how to leverage enemy behavior
  • Understanding of level design practices, techniques, and space composition
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills

Nice to See:

  • Shipped titles or other experience in the tactical genre
  • Shipped titles or other experience using Unreal 5
  • Shipped titles or other experience working in the Star Wars universe
