As a Senior Level Designer, you'll join our app localization project, designing engaging games and interactive experiences that delight children and resonate with parents across markets and languages; championing fun, intuitive play while pushing the boundaries of educational entertainment.

What you'll do

• Lead the localization design strategy for games and interactive experiences, defining guidelines, standards, and best practices to ensure content adapts seamlessly across markets, languages, and cultural contexts.
• Redesign game content within the Unity Editor when localization impacts gameplay; adapting layouts, UI, parameters, and features to accommodate text expansion, right-to-left language support, iconography, and culturally sensitive content.
• Design and produce layouts, levels, parameters, and features for our games inside the Unity Editor, following set guidelines.
• Collaborate with Production and regional stakeholders to plan game releases aligned with company goals and market-specific requirements.
• Drive retention and engagement by collecting qualitative feedback from user tests with kids (ages 2–8) across target markets and quantitative data from regional metrics, then translating insights into design decisions.
• Develop and maintain in-depth technical design documentation, including localization specifications for region-specific assets, and communicate requirements across teams.
• Ensure technical optimization of games, including localized builds, and promote quality standards for consistent player experiences regardless of language or region.
• Assist in prototyping game experiences using internal tools, including early validation of cultural and linguistic adaptations.

What you'll bring

• 4+ years as a Level Designer or Technical Game Designer, ideally in mobile or educational gaming.
• Proven experience designing and shipping games or interactive experiences in Unity.
• Proficiency in Unity Editor for level design, feature configuration, and game parameters.
• Strong understanding of technical optimization practices in Unity.
• Experience writing and maintaining in-depth design documentation and specifications.
• Solid grasp of interaction design, game mechanics, player motivation, and level design principles.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills across disciplines (production, UX, art, engineering).
• High-quality standards and attention to detail in gameplay polish.

Nice to have:

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

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.
