As a senior level designer at Squanch Games, you are in charge of making unique and memorable worlds.  You’ll work on levels at all points of their creation: paper maps, white box layouts, gameplay spaces, playtesting & iteration, and final polish.  Creating memorable levels is extremely important to you, and you should have a passion for level design.

At Squanch Games, we make stuff that people love; games that we want to play ourselves. We make experiences that we would like to be totally immersed in and enjoy for hours at a time, as well as shorter, crazier experiences that would be great to play with a group of friends, or possibly with your grandmother who only comes over because she is afraid you'll starve to death on your own.  We are not afraid to go into unknown territory, and in fact we prefer it! And we're a fully remote studio and will stay that way!
