If you want to be part of a team that's redefining the future of education, we’d love to hear from you!

What you’ll do

• Own Technical Design Projects across departments, maintaining and building processes that ensure we can keep growing and scaling our catalog while serving the overall Level Design team’s needs.

• Work alongside Engineering to help building the frameworks for new experiences looking to balance technical resilience, scalability and designer usability.

• Develop and maintain in-depth technical design documentation, and communicate technical requirements for assets across teams.

• Ensure technical optimization of games and promote quality standards and best practices for asset implementation within the team.

• Design and produce layouts, levels, parameters, and features for our games inside the Unity Editor, following set guidelines.

• Mentor, inspire, and support a team of junior and mid-level designers in their day-to-day work and professional growth.

• Collaborate with Production to plan game releases aligned with company goals.

• Lead level design efforts within the app localization project, ensuring games and interactive experiences work seamlessly across markets, languages, and cultural contexts.

• Drive retention and engagement by collecting qualitative feedback from user tests with kids (ages 2–8) and quantitative data from metrics, then translating insights into design decisions.

• Assist in prototyping simple game experiences using internal tools.

What you’ll bring

• 4+ years as a Level Designer or Technical Game Designer, ideally in mobile or educational gaming.

Nice to have:

• Experience with children's digital content or products for young audiences (2–8 years old).

English is a must: We’re a multicultural team providing a service in English, so while certifications aren’t necessary, fluency is essential. As a fully remote company, clear and effective spoken and written communication—especially in asynchronous, long-form formats—is key to collaborating successfully.
