Job Description

High Voltage is seeking talented Level Designers to join our growing team. In this role, you will use your creativity, technical design skills, and strong sense of scale, pacing, and player flow to craft engaging and memorable game levels.

• Apply level design fundamentals (flow, pacing, composition, player guidance) and incorporate playtest feedback to iterate on quality.
• Create basic custom blockout geometry and maintain clear level documentation.

Join High Voltage, and let us supercharge your future!
