[Hiring] Video Game Content Designer @Soulbound

Role Description

We're looking for Video Game Content Designers — creative, hungry people who want to build content for a live game that reaches millions of players.

This is an entry-level role so we don't specify a degree subject, your age, or your background. We care about three things:

• You've made stuff. You have a portfolio of something you've created. D&D campaigns, Magic: The Gathering events, mods, short films, game jams, fan fiction, tabletop scenarios, art projects — anything. If you've never created anything, this isn't the role for you.
• You're a gamer. Not casual — you play RPGs, MMORPGs, indie games. You care about questing, narrative, story, and game design. You understand what makes a good quest, a compelling loop, an interesting encounter. Games like World of Warcraft, RuneScape, and classic top-down RPGs excite you.
• You can learn fast and take feedback. You can demonstrate strong critical thinking. You know how to take feedback, iterate, and improve.

What You'll Actually Do:

• You'll build content for Soulbound using the most advanced content creation systems in the indie MMO space.
• Design and build quests, encounters, and narrative content using our proprietary systems.
• Propose content ideas and pitch them to leadership.
• Receive direct feedback from the creative director and leadership team.
• Iterate rapidly — our systems update in real time, so you'll see your work live immediately.
• Learn to write proposals and present ideas professionally.

Qualifications

• A portfolio of creative work — games, mods, campaigns, events, writing, art, anything that shows you can create and deliver.
• A genuine passion for gaming — particularly RPGs, MMORPGs, indie games, and top-down/pixel art games.
• Strong academic record or demonstrable critical thinking ability — university students, recent graduates, or postgrads preferred, but not required if you can demonstrate capability.
• Self-motivated and proactive — you don't wait to be told what to do.
• Thick skin — you can take direct, sometimes brutal feedback and use it to improve.
• Available to commit meaningful hours — this isn't a "check in once a week" role.

Requirements

• Experience with game design tools (any engine, modding tools, or level editors).
• Knowledge of pixel art or top-down game aesthetics.
• Experience running D&D campaigns, tabletop RPGs, or organising gaming events.
• Familiarity with game design concepts (progression, quest design, encounter design, narrative).

Benefits

• Build a real portfolio on a live game with 1M+ players.
• Direct access to studio founder and creative leadership.
• Learn professional game design workflows — proposals, pitches, iteration.
• Work with cutting-edge AI-assisted content creation tools and agents.
• Flexible hours — work around your studies or other commitments.
• Remote — work from anywhere.
• Genuine path to ongoing roles for standout performers.
• Small, fast-moving indie studio where your work ships and players actually see it.
