Come define the look of the next generation of RTS. We are looking for a Level Designer for Defcon Zero, our flagship strategy title. Its a gritty, high-fidelity RTS built on Unreal Engine 5.

We are looking for a versatile Level Designer who combines strong gameplay instincts with a systems-driven mindset. As a Level Designer at TriArts, you will be responsible for shaping the core gameplay experience - from designing and greyboxing levels in Unreal Engine to defining flow, pacing, and player interactions, ensuring clear, readable, and strategically engaging RTS battlefields that align with the game's design and narrative needs.

• Design and greybox gameplay-driven levels in Unreal Engine.
• Define level flow, pacing, and player interaction across missions and maps.
• Create clear, readable, and strategically engaging RTS battlefields.
• Translate game design and narrative requirements into playable level layouts.
• Collaborate closely with design, art, and engineering to ensure cohesive execution.
• Iterate on levels based on playtests, feedback, and gameplay balancing needs.
  
  

• 3+ years of experience as a Level Designer using Unreal Engine (UE5), including level creation and greyboxing workflows.
• Proven experience as a Level Designer or a strong portfolio demonstrating gameplay-driven level design.
• Strong understanding of gameplay design, pacing, and player flow.

• Genuine passion for RTS games and the strategy genre.
• Proficiency in Hebrew is a plus.
  
  

• Thrive in a collaborative, team-oriented environment where clear communication is key.

• Demonstrate a proactive attitude and a hunger to learn new tools and pipelines independently.
  
  

• The Forefront of PC Dev: Break away from the mobile market. Join one of the few studios in Israel dedicated to building high-fidelity, hardcore PC strategy games using the latest Unreal Engine tech.

• A Veteran Team: Work alongside passionate developers who care deeply about the RTS genre and hold themselves to high artistic and technical standards.

• Direct Impact: You aren't just a number in a massive hierarchy. Your work will directly shape the final game, and your contributions will be visible on screen.
