Description

We see ourselves as a new civilisation of people emerging to make the world of gaming better.

Were a different breed of games company - we do things our own way in our own style, not necessarily following whats been done before.

Our people are at the heart of our evolution and we nurture them to be their best. Without them our vision would fail.

We strive to avoid crunch, overtime is optional and always paid, and we offer flexible working hours to allow you to enjoy a normal family life whilst making great games.

Weve helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust: Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

Were growing rapidly and as a result were looking for a Level Designer to join our studio in Middlesbrough (UK), home to the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and countryside.

As a Level Designer at Double Eleven, youll take part in devising and building the narrative, locations and gameplay that will capture our players' imaginations, test their skills and surprise and delight them in unexpected ways.

In this role you will set up camp at our HQ in Middlesbrough.

We are continuing to assess the covid-19 situation, and our studio is set-up with the necessary covid-19 support measures to keep our teams safe.

The wellbeing of our teams is at the heart of everything we do, and we are keen that all our teams feel safe and reassured.

Strictly no agencies (sorry guys) and were unable to sponsor a visa for this role.

We can support UK relocation and have a dedicated People team on standby to assist you and your family with every step to us.
