Game designers

Innovative gameplay has been one of Frontier's core strengths over the years, and is something we continue to focus on in all our developments.   Designers have a central role in developing our games, and will work closely with art and programming colleagues on a game project.

We are looking for designers who are full of creative flare and enthusiasm and have a passion for, and extensive knowledge of, games and gameplay.  The roles are varied - both original IP and AAA licenses feature in our strong project line-up, spanning a number of game genres, and our reputation for compelling gameplay is achieved by our designers contributing fully at all stages of our game developments, from concept through to final gameplay balance.

After initially influencing the basic design of a game level, designers will use Frontier's game editor and scripting system to implement their own design concept through to the final gameplay detail, and can expect to be involved in extensive play-testing.

Successful applicants must have a broad experience of playing games, and be able to demonstrate a good understanding of player mentality / psychology and gameplay mechanisms.  Successful candidates will also have excellent verbal and written skills, possess the ability to work closely with a team, have excellent communication skills and ideally be educated to degree level.  Experienced candidates should have at least one AAA game design to their name.

Experience of game editors (e.g. Unreal Editor, Worldcraft or Quake editors), basic 3D modelling skills and / or experience of scripting systems (e.g Unrealscript etc.) will be an advantage.

Industry experience is important but not essential, as long as you have examples of high quality work that you have done. These do not need to relate to a game, but should show off your talent.

Please apply either by email (including a CV and any showreel/demos) to designerjobs@frontier.co.uk, or by surface mail to the address on the ‘contact us’ page of this website.

Preference will be given to candidates who apply directly to us and are EU citizens currently resident in the UK.  Salaries offered will depend on skills & experience.

We are not looking for applicants who wish to work from home, or on a freelance basis.
