Video Game Content Designer (Contract, Part-Time)

Soulbound, New York, NY, United States


Video Game Content Designer

Soulbound is a top-down pixel art MMO launching on Steam. We've had over 1 million players on browser and have completely rebuilt the game for PC — new engine, new progression system, new narrative framework. We're a remote team of ~20 building something ambitious. We're looking for Video Game Content Designers — creative, hungry people who want to build content for a live game that reaches millions of players.
This is an entry-level role so we don't specify a degree subject, your age, or your background. We care about three things:
1. You've made stuff.
You have a portfolio of something you've created. D&D campaigns, Magic: The Gathering events, mods, short films, game jams, fan fiction, tabletop scenarios, art projects — anything. If you've never created anything, this isn't the role for you.
2. You're a gamer.
Not casual — you play RPGs, MMORPGs, indie games. You care about questing, narrative, story, and game design. You understand what makes a good quest, a compelling loop, an interesting encounter. Games like World of Warcraft, RuneScape, and classic top-down RPGs excite you.
3. You can learn fast and take feedback.
You can demonstrate strong critical thinking. You know how to take feedback, iterate, and improve.
What You'll Actually Do:
You'll build content for Soulbound using the most advanced content creation systems in the indie MMO space. Our tooling lets you build quests in seconds that appear in the game in real time. Within your first few days, you'll be creating content — not making coffees.
Design and build quests, encounters, and narrative content using our proprietary systems
Propose content ideas and pitch them to leadership
Receive direct feedback from the creative director and leadership team
Iterate rapidly — our systems update in real time, so you'll see your work live immediately
Learn to write proposals and present ideas professionally.
What This Is (And What It Isn't):
This is

your foot in the door in the games industry. You'll build a real portfolio working on a live game with a proven player base. You'll learn how to create, pitch, and ship content at pace. You'll get direct access to studio leadership.

This is not

a high-paying role. This is an entry level role — you're here to learn, build, and prove yourself. The games industry is brutally competitive to break into and this is a way in.
