Contract Games Designer (Mid-Level)

4–6 months (with potential extension)

Remote – Full Time

Start ASAP

We’re looking for amid-level Game Designer with a background in education! This is a full-time, remote contract role for 4–6 months, with the potential for extension.

We are creating an educational game for kids aged 10–14. It is a 2.5D adventure-puzzle with a strong focus on narrative.

Teaching experience is a must, and teaching biology is a strong preference.

What you’ll be doing:

• Designing an explorable island map, puzzles, and game flow for an educational adventure-puzzle game
• Creating engaging, educationally focused puzzles and interactions for 10–14 year olds
• Developing interactive dialogue and narrative structure in collaboration with a writer
• Documenting design intent and vision clearly for the team
• Collaborating closely with the producer, creative director, programmer, artist, and educational advisor
• Using standard game design tools like Standard Game Engines (Godot is a plus), Twine, Miro, Figma—or whatever helps you design great experiences

What we’re looking for:

• Proven experience designing exploration-based or puzzle-driven games
• Teaching experience (essential)—especially in biology (a strong plus)
• A creative, curious mindset with an eye for making learning fun and meaningful
• Ability to work collaboratively with a fully remote team
• Ready to hit the ground running—flexible, self-motivated, and a good communicator
• Link to your portfolio page if you have one
• A brief cover letter highlighting your most relevant experience and interest

Our diverse and motivated team is looking forward to hearing from you!
