Senior Game Designer (Remote)

WHO ARE BRIGHTROCK GAMES?

We are a plucky independent fully-remote video game studio based in Brighton, UK, and makers of widely praised and highly-rated Galacticare and War for the Overworld. The core team has joined together from all over the world because of a shared passion for building brighter universes. Our goal is to continue creating genre-twisting 3D simulation and management games; and if we can do it with a quirkily British sense of humour, then all the better!

We are looking for a Senior Game Designer to join our core team full-time and help develop the Next Big Thing™ from Brightrock Games!

• Hands-on experience working in-engine to implement content and balance systems
• A high attention to detail and an analytical attitude towards playing games
