Game Level Designer

We're on the hunt for a passionate Level Designer to help craft the living, breathing world of our upcoming RPG!  Zenith Studio LLC is building an ambitious, narrative-driven fantasy RPG packed with meaningful exploration, dynamic quests, companion interactions, tense combat arenas, hidden secrets, and player choices that actually shape the world.
We need someone who doesn’t just place walls and enemies — you design spaces that tell stories, create memorable moments, and make players say “just one more dungeon…”

What you’ll be doing day-to-day:

Design and block out immersive levels: towns & villages, sprawling wilderness, intricate dungeons, epic boss arenas, quest hubs, and secret areas
Create compelling gameplay flow, pacing, combat encounters, exploration rewards, and narrative beats
Build, light, and iterate levels directly in Unity (scene management, Nav Mesh, triggers, cinema tics, world streaming)
Work hand-in-hand with Narrative, Gameplay Designers, Environment Artists, and Programmers to bring the vision to life
Prototype new mechanics and systems inside levels
Playtest, balance difficulty & flow, and polish until the levels feel magical
Help define the overall world layout and vertical slice standards

What we’re looking for:

3+ years of professional Level Design experience (games preferred, especially RPGs, action-adventure, or open-world titles)
Strong portfolio/demo with:
Video walkthroughs or playthroughs of your levels
Before/after blockouts
Clear design intent and player journey breakdowns

Excellent Unity skills (Unity 2022+ / 6 preferred) — you should be very comfortable building and iterating in-engine
Deep understanding of RPG level design principles: reward loops, exploration vs. combat pacing, quest integration, environmental storytelling
Love for fantasy RPGs (think Baldur’s Gate 3, Elden Ring, Dragon Age, The Witcher 3, Divinity: Original Sin 2, Hades, Raji etc.)

Nice-to-have bonuses:

Experience with Unity Terrain, Pro Builder, or custom editor tools
Knowledge of world streaming / open-world techniques
Procedural generation or level scripting experience
Familiarity with cinematic tools (Timeline / Sequencer)
Ability to do simple white-box lighting & basic VFX placement

How to apply:

→ Your favourite RPG level ever and why the design works so well
→ Which part of our project excites you most
