Senior Content Designer

About Squanch Games:

Since opening our doors in 2016, we've recruited a troop of the most hilariously unique talent the biz has to offer. We're constantly looking to expand our team of incredible people: They're crackin' some jokes, making awesomely strange stuff, and thinking outside the box simultaneously -- that's the "Squanch Factor" if you will.

At Squanch Games, we make dreams come true – the funkiest, bizarrest dreams from the depths of our souls. Real complex stuff, but you probably know what we’re talking about because you’ve already played our games, right? RIGHT? (Hint: YES).

If you see molds and like breaking them, or boxes and enjoy stepping outside of them–ONWARD! Also, if you love working remotely, we're the studio for you.

Think you've got what it takes? Go for it. Seriously! Send us your resume!

What you'll do:

As a Senior Content Designer at Squanch Games, you will be in charge of making the translation of design concepts into high quality game execution. You love thinking about how to bring great character-driven narrative and content to life. Building a world experience is extremely important to you and you have great ideas on how to make this even more impactful and funny.

In this role, you will:

1. Problem solve: You have an indie spirit that inspires you to be creative and willing to go above and beyond to find solutions.
2. Be curious and passionate: You read and/or play games most days.
3. Collaborate and be humble: You know that the best work comes from a team that trusts and respects each other. You strive to collaborate with others and don’t care whose ideas win. Best ideas win.
4. Mentor: As a senior, mentoring is a very important part of Squanch Games culture. We need folks who are always willing to mentor and assist team members.
5. Be tech-friendly: Regardless of whether your tech background includes programming, scripting, or working in engine editors, we need folks who are flexible and willing to dive in and make changes when necessary. No paper-only designers, please.
6. Know what the latest excellent ways are to interact with the world and what experiences blow people’s minds and you can’t wait to make more of them.
7. Play to your strengths and not be afraid to admit your weaknesses.

What we’re looking for:

• A great communicator of your design: Using whatever methods necessary to ensure that everyone gets it.
• Comfortability owning large sections of the game.
• Someone that seeks feedback and adjusts as necessary, communicating along the way.
• Be OK with some structure and process. Documentation doesn’t scare you, in fact, it makes you stronger.

Benefits:
