Designer

As a designer at Hello Games, you’ll play a key role in developing innovative, meaningful and technically exciting games enjoyed by a diverse audience of millions.

We are a small team, and our designers are hands-on generalists, directly involved in feature development and implementation. We have designers with backgrounds in programming, scripting, narrative design, 3D art and more.

You will be working closely with the team on your own features from day one, and communication and collaboration is key. Experienced designers here thrive when they are able to take the passion and skill of others and bring the perspective and eye for detail to really help everyone’s work shine; while designers just beginning their career have a real opportunity to learn from a highly efficient and experienced development team at the same time as having real ownership over significant areas of the game.
