Boss Level are currently looking for a number of graphic designers to work on their next-generation multi-platform games. We’re inviting applications from all experience ranges from intern to games industry veteran. In essence we’re looking for two types of individuals to work on our games; those with ‘web’-focused graphic skills and those with skills in creating graphic assets and animations (preferably for the games industry). However if you combine all or only some of the skills from both pools we’d still like to talk, provided you have a portfolio that demonstrates an affinity with what we do.

Non-negotiable requirements:

  • Decent, intelligent person
  • A willingness to work hard when required

Preferred skills (Web):

  • CSS3 Styling and Animations/Transitions
  • HTML5 <Canvas> use
  • User Experience (UX)/User Interface (UI) creation and finessing
  • Some exposure to Javascript

Preferred skills (Game Artist):

  • Photoshop, Illustrator or alternatives
  • Graphical asset creation
  • Animation generation
  • Games industry experience

It would be nice if you had:

  • Understanding of typography and layout
  • Interest in computer games and user interaction
  • Familiarity with Modding
  • Some exposure to mobile (Android and iOS

Please note that experience with 3D modelling tools is not a requirement.

If you want:

  • Free muesli every Friday morning
  • An office peopled by those more interested in being cool than being able to code
  • Corporate away-days to ’bond’

Then DON’T get in touch (we are cool and we like the pub but we prefer to spend our cash on tangible benefits like a large performance bonus at the end of the year)

However, if you are interested in:

  • Working hard for a few years at a decent wage and then exiting with a sizable chunk of cash
  • Learning about the startup world up-close from those who have done it before with a view to doing it yourself
  • Finding a route into the games industry
  • On the job training in leading-edge technologies
  • Having fun working in a very cool market sector

Then we may well be the employer for you

In addition, please remember that we are an early stage startup and thus anyone joining at this stage is a) guaranteed a degree of seniority as the company expands and b) able to really influence the graphical style that we adopt moving forward.

The package for permanent roles is £15K — £25K dependent on experience, whilst for interns we will pay the industry standard lunch + travel expenses. A chunk of equity has been set aside for employees and will be available on a performance/milestone basis. Please understand that this is a significant component in your remuneration; we are all working together to make both great games and great money.

Applications should be sent to info@bosslevelgames.com (no recruiters please – I mean it!).  All of the roles are based in our London (Dalston, E8) UK offices.
