Regular/Senior Mission Designer w/m/d

We are looking for...

For our team we are looking for a Regular/Senior Mission Designer who does not only implement content but actively shapes and owns the mission pipeline. You are one of the interfaces to the other disciplines, you support planning and prioritisation, and at the same time you work hands-on with our internal in-engine tools and make sure that your missions reliably reach a shippable state.

Your tasks

As a regular or senior designer you take ownership of the production of your missions and help implement the vision of the mission gameplay. You make sure that missions are consistent in content and quality and reliably become shippable - from the first outline through prototyping and implementation to polishing, bug fixing and balancing. You use our internal in-engine tools to build mission flows, objectives, mission scripting and navigation and to improve them step by step. You can create a strong vision for the mission locations and pass it on, so that the work of the set dressing team on your mission gets better. You also have a good understanding of real architecture. You bring a strong understanding of real procedures and translate them into clear, playable mission structures with good readability, sensible pacing and reliable feedback. You coordinate dependencies with other departments, support planning and prioritisation, clear blockers out of the way and establish standards and best practices for mission design, tooling workflows and the mission pipeline. Depending on how the role is cut, you also support the mentoring and coaching of the mission designers and the development of the team.

Your profile

• You hold a completed degree in game design or a comparable course of study with a good to very good grade.
• Several years of experience in mission or level design, ideally as a senior with ownership of content up to release
• Good German and English, spoken and written
• Experience with simulation titles and/or games that translate real procedures into gameplay
• Very good understanding of mission structure, pacing, objectives, failure states, tutorialisation and guidance, and player readability
• Hands-on experience with in-engine tools and data- or state-based mission systems
• Strong in iteration and debugging
• Very good communication and coordination skills as an interface between disciplines
• Experience in planning and prioritisation as well as in establishing standards and best practices for mission design and the mission pipeline

Also desirable is knowledge of or in:

• Domain knowledge of or interest in the fire service, emergency procedures or related real-world processes
• Experience with architecture, blockouting, 3D modelling or close collaboration with art

The basis of our daily collaboration is formed by agile values and principles, the support of colleagues and superiors, a professional working environment and a good pinch of humour.

We offer you a modern workplace where you either work fully remotely or in a hybrid mode, partly at the company and partly at home.

If you travel to Wiesbaden for a meeting in person, we put you up in our company apartment right next to the office.

Every employee has a personal time account with us. This lets us organise our work flexibly and compensate overtime at 100%. Flexitime in the morning also makes it possible to start the working day individually.

All employees can regularly use part of their working time for personal training on topics relevant to their projects. In addition, every employee gets the opportunity at least once a year to attend an external conference or training course at the company's expense. That inspires, creates a view beyond one's own horizon and is fun!
