$/yr - $/yr

Ahoy there! We're Second Dinner! Perhaps you've heard of our first game, MARVEL SNAP? Mobile Game of the Year? That was just the beginning! Our next generation of games is "mad hype" and we're excited to make another blockbuster hit. (This time, with you!)

The people here are uber‑talented, and bring a bunch of diverse perspectives to the craft of makin' games. If you can bring something new to the table and expand our point of view, that's a huge upside.

OH! And we're fully remote throughout the United States!! So you can totally apply and nobody will be mad at you.

We’re working on something new, with a wildly exciting partner. The team is pretty small right now (≈20 rad folks), so you can make a HUGE impact helping shape this thing. We just passed a big milestone and are ready to step on the gas.

As a Content Designer, you will design and implement awesome content that players will love. It’s not easy to churn out great ideas and then also take those ideas all the way into the game, but HEY. That’s why you’re here.

Whether its missions, stories, items, heroes, or abilities – you will design it, build it in‑engine, and then bask in the glory of your creations.

• Be a design firehose who can create endless, delightful content like characters, abilities, puzzles, bosses, and more!
• Get all the way in and implement your designs yourself in‑engine. We’re using the Godot engine. It’s ok if you don’t already know how to use Godot, as long as you can learn it quickly.
• Make sure the content is tuned and balanced for maximum fun.
• Create mock‑ups and documentation that clearly expresses your ideas to excite and inspire the team.
• Collaborate with our world‑class IP partner to create something that’s authentic and delightful together.

• You’re a generalist who understands that the best designers are also capable of making their own dreams reality – whether that requires designing a UX flow, pulling together assets, obsessing over the perfect wording on a tooltip, or writing code yourself.
• You love wielding the latest technology to move lightning fast.
• You understand how content and meta loops intertwine to give players compelling goals.
• You love working with ridiculously talented people and making great stuff.
• You will apply for this job.

• Content Designer II (mid‑level): $110,000 – $145,000 USD + equity + comprehensive benefits + potential for discretionary performance bonuses.
• Senior Content Designer I: $135,000 – $175,000 USD + equity + comprehensive benefits + potential for discretionary performance bonuses.

• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance plans with Second Dinner paying 100% of premiums for employees and 75% for dependents.
• 401(k) contribution with no waiting period.
• 16 weeks paid parental leave with no waiting period.
• Home office improvement bonus.
• Paid Vacation & Sick time.
• Up to 10 Better Help sessions covered each benefits plan year.
• Company Winter Holiday shutdown (Dec 25‑Jan
  1).
• Company Summer Holiday shutdown (week of July
  4).
