Barcelona, Barcelona, Spain


We are a small studio, hyper-focused on only one thing; creating a masterpiece. We are exploring a well-known IP and pushing the limits of perfection. We believe that true innovation stems from a balance of experience and the courage to explore the unknown.  

The founders and leaders of Bespoke Pixel have extensive experience from shipping world-class entertainment. We are independent and fully funded.   


THE JOB

We are currently looking for a Game Designer.

Our project is extremely focused on gameplay, systems, perfection of features and precise innovation in gameplay- & combat-loops. As our Game Designer you will have a central role in turning all the core mechanics into a fine-tuned experience. The responsibility covers both design and balancing. 

We are Unreal-based and are building a multiplayer game with high emphasis on emergent experiences.

  • Express yourself through detailed specifications and numeric design. 

  • Drive the implementation of all moment-to-moment gameplay.

  • Represent the player’s best interest at every turn. 

  • Innovative when you see opportunity to do so. 

  • Prioritize wisely among multiple ideas. 

  • Plan, attend and utilize playtests for guidance.

The Game Designer reports to the Game Director and is considered to be the player's voice in the studio.

As our Game Designer you will be an important cornerstone in Bespoke Pixel, and you’ll be expected to share your ideas and make a tangible impact on the project. That’s why we want you to have a curious mindset and that you wholeheartedly enjoy teamwork.

We are looking for someone who is visionary and insightful - yet pragmatic and practical. We expect you to stay cool, mature, and focused when things get challenging. 

At Bespoke Pixel we work on site in Barcelona, currently 5 days a week. Therefore, living in Barcelona or being willing to relocate is a must.

  • Competitive salary
