Company Overview

Wolf Games is a cutting-edge studio leveraging the latest AI technology to expand beloved content worlds into full-fledged universes with daily, relevant, ripped-from-the-headlines, personalized content that perfectly matches its medium—be it video games, podcasts, newsletters, or vertical video platforms. Our founders have a rich history of creating hit TV series in the crime genre, leading media groups at Twitter and NextVR, and building genre-defining generative art platforms. We're at the forefront of combining innovative AI technologies with creative industries to redefine storytelling and content engagement.

Job Description

We’re hiring a Director of Games to lead game design for our upcoming slate of titles. You’ll work hand in hand with our Chief Creative Officer to define, design and deliver daily web- and mobile-based narrative and puzzle-based games based in our own IP universe, and those of our partners. You’ll be responsible for defining game mechanics, game UX and metagame elements across multiple titles; will manage a team of game designers; and collaborate with best-in-class platform engineers, AI engineers, designers and writers to create amazing game experiences.

This is a hybrid role: part creative director, part game systems architect, part team leader. If you’re an experienced leader in gaming with strong creative instincts, systems fluency, and the ability to scale world-class content teams – we want to talk.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Partner with our Chief Creative Officer to define, design and deliver daily web- and mobile-based narrative and puzzle-based games
• Translate your vision into game roadmaps, tool specs and production pipelines
• Guide game user experience, game mechanics, game module mechanics and metagame systems in and across each of our titles
• Create scalable narrative systems, branching frameworks and daily content loops, and oversee continuous level design across titles
• Contribute to new game development – pitching, prototyping and planning with senior executives and our IP partners
• Collaborate closely with engineering and product management to improve Wolf Games’ proprietary game-creation platform
• Manage and grow a team of game designers

What We’re Looking For

• A cross-disciplinary leader with 7+ years in producing narrative or mobile games
• Obsessed with game design and production
• Interested in how AI tools can augment creative work (or already using them)
• Experienced in managing and mentoring multi-role creative teams (4+ reports)
• Fluent in branching dialogue, player choice systems, modular storytelling, and deduction and logic puzzles
• Comfortable working across genres and tones—from murder mystery to romance to sci-fi
• Ready to help build a company, not just a single game

Bonus Points For:

• Experience shipping mobile games, live ops content, or episodic narrative content
• Strong creative tools background—especially if you’ve built or refined pipelines
• Familiarity with Twine or other narrative/game design interfaces
• Prior work on developing games with licensed IP
• Competitive Compensation: The base pay for this role is $50-60 per hour, depending on experience, with a planned 40 hours per week. We highly value transparency and offering competitive pay, based on current market research and employee experience level.
• Flexible Work Environment: Enjoy the flexibility and adventure that comes from being self-directed at a startup.
• Remote Work: 100% fully remote position.
• Professional Growth: Opportunity to establish the product management practice at Wolf Games and lead the group as it expands.
• Innovative Technologies: Work with the latest generative AI technologies and self-defining software.
