ABOUT US


Mountaintop is a new game studio creating multiplayer games for players who crave a challenge. We’re an independent, remote-first studio primarily located in the US and Canada.


We’re creating the types of games that bring people together — and keep them together for “just one more round.” The types of games that inspired us as kids. The games that become our hobbies, and sometimes our obsessions.


Games are a reflection of the teams that make them. So to make the best games, we’re building a studio that puts the team first — one that's collaborative, anti-crunch, diverse, and inclusive.


We’d love for you to join us.


THE ROLE


We’re looking for a talented and passionate Level Designer; creating competitive multiplayer FPS levels that deliver outstanding team-centric player experiences for Spectre Divide. The ideal candidate will be responsible for prototyping and maintaining maps, addressing reported issues (bugs), and setting up all aspects of a map following team-established metrics and standards. Great-level designers transform rough block-outs into fully playable environments. You’ll play a crucial role in bringing our first title to life.
