Responsibilities
Design and build complex, multi-layered levels that challenge the player's movement and spatial reasoning
Drive the level creation process from 2D paper design to 3D greybox (Blockout), through to final set dressing and lighting
Work closely with the Combat Designers to ensure arenas support our 'action' pillars, and with the Technical Animators to ensure traversal (climbing, jumping, dashing) feels seamless
Utilize Nanite and Lumen to create high-fidelity environments. You will be responsible for set dressing, material application (Quixel/Substance), and environmental storytelling
Own the performance of your levels. You’ll use World Partition and Data Layers to ensure the sprawling vertical vistas run at a locked frame rate
Use Blueprints to wire up level-specific 'gimmicks,' scripted sequences, and environmental puzzles

A portfolio that demonstrates a mastery of verticality

Experience with Motion Matching systems and how they interact with environmental geometry
