We re growing! Triband is working on our most ambitious project to date: a new systemic open-world game built around a beloved IP, with our own spin on it . A bold new direction for us! And we re just getting started. Now we re looking for a Senior World Designer to plan, prototype, and build this world. You ll shape the big picture (the areas, how they connect, and how players find their way around) and work hands-on in the engine to bring it to life together with artists, designers, and the rest of your team.

Here s what you ll do day to day Plan the world and lead its conceptualization, keeping a clear overview and vision for the whole map and for each new area before we start building it Create distinct spaces, biomes, and sections of the world (grounded in the real world), working closely with the art team to make each one feel unique Collaborate with artists and your team on environmental storytelling that gives each region its own identity Design how players navigate the world, using landmarks and the systems behind them Establish and maintain the world-creation pipeline, workflows, and hierarchy structures Work with developers on the tools that help build the world, such as traffic networks Gather needs from across the team and make sure they land in the right places in the world Build and implement hands-on in the engine like the rest of the team You re a great match if You have extensive in-engine experience.

You re motivated by collaboration, mutual respect, inclusiveness, and creativity, and you actively contribute to sustaining that culture.

You believe games are made by teams, not solo rockstars, and that good ideas can come from anyone.

You bring curiosity, generosity, and flexibility, along with strong opinions, especially when they come with reasoning, openness, and a willingness to actually test them.

You re up for experimentation, and at the same time you don t get too precious when the experience tells you you re wrong.

You value a positive work environment and contribute to keeping the studio a fun and supportive place.
