Senior Level Designer

CCP are seeking an experienced Senior Level Designer to help craft immersive, competitive, and replayable experiences for EVE Vanguard. This role is for a highly self-directed level designer who takes full ownership of their work - someone who can independently drive levels from concept to release, make strong decisions without constant guidance, and consistently deliver high-quality content in a fast-paced, live service environment.

Your Tasks

• Own and deliver high-quality levels across PvP, PvE, and Sandbox modes without supervision.
• Drive level design from concept through block-out, iteration, polish, and release.
• Create engaging multiplayer spaces that balance flow, readability, fairness, and tactical depth.
• Design PvE encounters that support pacing, difficulty curves, and co-operative gameplay.
• Build systemic sandbox environments that encourage player agency, experimentation, and emergent gameplay.
• Collaborate closely with design, art, engineering, and production teams, taking full accountability for quality, timelines, and outcome.
• Use playtesting, telemetry, and player feedback to iterate and refine maps post-launch.
• Deliver regular content updates in a live service environment, including seasonal drops, map variants, and limited-time modes.
• Establish and uphold best practices, pipelines, and documentation, raising the standard for ownership and delivery across the team.
• Proactively identify problems, propose solutions, and unblock yourself without waiting for direction.

Your Profile

• At least one shipped FPS title.
• Strong portfolio demonstrating PvP, PvE, and Sandbox level design work.
• Proven track record of designing competitive multiplayer maps with strong flow, spawn logic, and balance unsupervised.
• Experience working independently, crafting PvE spaces with encounter design, AI placement, and narrative/environmental storytelling.
• Understanding of sandbox design principles, including systemic gameplay and player-driven outcomes.
• Experience working in a live service model, including post-launch content creation and iteration.
• Proficiency with industry-standard tools (e.g., Unreal Engine, proprietary editors).
• Strong understanding of player behavior, engagement loops, and retention strategies.
• Excellent communication and cross-discipline collaboration skills.

What Success Looks Like

• You consistently deliver maps that players want to replay.
• Your designs balance creativity with competitive integrity.
• You respond quickly and effectively to player feedback in a live environment.
• You elevate the quality of the team through ownership, quality of output and setting a great example.
