[Hiring] Level Designer @Pixaera

Role Description

We’re a passionate team of builders who are dedicated to delivering real solutions that empower real people. Today, we’re leveraging AI and gamification to build a platform centered around improving the safety readiness of frontline workers in any high-risk industry.

Mission

• Own the playable quality of the modules you build.
• What you ship should be clear, engaging, and coachable for frontline workers, grounded in real work and correct procedure.
• You design and you implement, brief to shipped.

Outcomes you're accountable for

• Playable experience quality primary.
• Learners understand goals, consequences, and feedback without confusion, and can connect "what happened" to "what to do on the job".
• The module is readable, well-paced, and tuned.
• Scoring reflects real performance against the objectives and tells a learner what to improve.
• Procedural fidelity.
• Safety-critical detail is correct, checked with subject matter experts early.
• It ships, in every language and customer version.
• Your modules hit their date, and the localized builds are as good as the source.
• Nothing generative reaches a client unchecked.
• Artefacts, wrong characters, broken continuity, and mistranslations are caught by you, before QA.
• The pipeline is faster because you used it.
• You work agentically by default, and what you learn goes back into the authoring pipeline instead of staying in your head.

Responsibilities

• Design the moment to moment.
• Define how the module plays: learner flow, the decision points, the feedback at each one, failure, and recovery.
• Turn objectives into what the learner must demonstrate, not what they are told.
• Design the decision, not just build it.
• Keep UX, pacing, and narrative flow aligned rather than competing.
• Build it, end to end and agentically.
• Build in our authoring pipeline using Claude Code: spec, images, voice and video, scenes, captions, questions, preview, release.
• Direct the models.
• Build and iterate in Unreal Engine 5 where the module calls for it.
• Validate and iterate.
• Playtest your own work against the spec and the objectives before anyone else sees it.
• Turn client feedback into fixes, and judge defect versus change request.
• Estimate and track your own work, flag slippage early, and ask in open channels.

Qualifications

• AI native, in production.
• You build with agentic coding tools, Claude Code or equivalent, on real deliverables with real deadlines.
• Design craft, not just implementation craft.
• Around 3 to 5 years in game or level design, and strong Unreal Engine 5 skills.
• Fundamentals: pacing, readability, feedback loops, consequence, and failure handling.
• Practical fluency with generative image, video, and voice tooling.
• Comfortable in a repo: branches, pull requests, review.
• Organised, communicative, delivers without being chased.
• Enough grasp of art, animation, programming, and sound to brief them and integrate their work.

Nice to have

• You have improved a tool or pipeline you depend on.
• Localisation at volume, VR or web builds, or safety and industrial training content.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and stock options — everyone shares in what we're building.
• 25 days holiday + public holidays.
• Fully equipped setup from day one (no waiting for laptops).
• Regular company offsites and team socials.
• A flat, transparent culture with direct access to leadership.
