// Open Role at Streamline Studios
Join Streamline Studios as a Mid-Level Level Designer to craft immersive, engaging, and balanced game levels. If you're a designer and builder who loves to block out, script, light, test, and fix, bring your unique perspective and passion for gameplay to our team.
About Us
Streamline started as a team of modders. Twenty-five years later we are a creative development studio doing full game development, co-development, publishing and interactive digital asset production. We have shipped on every major platform for Sony, Microsoft and global AAA publishers.
The industry resets every few years: 3D, the indie wave, mobile, and now AI. We have come through every one of them by staying curious, owning our work, and keeping our promises. We call that Delivering the Promise, and it is how we work every day.
Description
We're hiring a Mid-Level Level Designer. You already have the foundations. Here you'll build on them.
You'll design levels that are engaging, immersive and balanced, and you'll be proactive about it, so players stay in the game. We want someone who designs the space and builds it: blocks it out, scripts it, lights it, tests it, fixes it. Designer and builder in one person, not a hand-off between two.
We'd rather hear from someone with an unusual background and a real point of view than from someone who ticks every box. If you've modded, tinkered, entered jams, or built odd things nobody asked for, tell us. That counts.

How to Apply
We hire for real thinking, clearly expressed. We would much rather read three honest sentences about a level you built than a polished cover letter.
In your application, please show us specifics:
And tell us about you, beyond the work. What's surprising about you? What unique skill, interest, cause or deep hobby are you truly passionate about? Maybe you restore old arcade cabinets, forage, compete in chess, volunteer, build furniture, study a dead language, or care about a cause nobody expects. Some of our best people have unusual backgrounds, and what you love outside games often shapes how you design.
Write it yourself, in your own words. We can tell when you haven't.
