• 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
