Level Designer

We’re always looking for talented people to join Valve.

Level Designers at Valve join a world-class group of software engineers, artists, writers, animators, and designers who are continually building and releasing entertainment experiences to players around the globe. Level Designers help to create exciting new gameplay experiences, and we’re hoping to add your expertise in design tools, launching products, and iterating on solutions based on customer feedback.

Valve is an entertainment and technology company driven to design and deliver extraordinary entertainment experiences to customers. We hire people with broad skill sets who also exhibit deep expertise. Level designers at Valve contribute in a wide variety of ways: we participate in design sessions to create outlines of game experiences. We build game worlds in 3D and use scripting to implement gameplay and story elements. We work in dynamic, cross-disciplinary teams to implement elements such as art, animation, story, and design requirements.

Do you prefer to collaborate with peers to define the work that you pursue, rather than simply follow a vision that's been set for you? If you're seeking an opportunity to work on genre-defining games with other outstanding developers, consider joining Valve. We can't wait to see where you'll take us!

When applying, please include recent examples of levels or environments you have made.
