Level Designer — Unreal Engine 5 — Volunteer | Remote

X-Quick Software is an independent game studio developing Nythe, a dark fantasy first-person shooter set in a haunting, stylized world of decay and mystery. We’re a fully remote indie team bound by shared passion, vision, and creativity. Together, we’re crafting an experience that blends fast-paced FPS combat with deep atmosphere and storytelling.

We’re looking for a Level Designer experienced in Unreal Engine 5 to help shape the environments of Nythe. You’ll be responsible for designing atmospheric, gameplay-rich levels that capture the tone of a world consumed by corruption, blending exploration, combat arenas, and storytelling through environment design.

• Create compelling level layouts, combat spaces, and exploration paths.
• Implement lighting, environmental storytelling, and mood consistent with Nythe’s dark tone.
• Collaborate closely with 3D artists, gameplay designers, and writers to bring levels to life.
• Balance aesthetics and gameplay flow, ensuring each environment feels alive and dangerous.
• Prototype and iterate using Unreal Engine 5 tools and blueprints.

• Experience with Unreal Engine 5 (level design, world building, lighting, block out).
• Understanding of gameplay flow, pacing, and player guidance through visual design.
• Ability to work with modular assets and adapt to a stylized art direction.
• Passion for dark fantasy, Souls-like atmospheres, and immersive world design.

• Hands-on experience in an active Unreal Engine 5 project.
• Creative freedom within a well-established art and lore direction.
• Portfolio-ready work and credits in the released game.
• A place among passionate developers building something unique together.

If you’re driven to build worlds that tell stories through ruins, light, and silence, we’d love to have you.
