8monkey Labs, Inc. is an independent game developer bent on counter-revolutionizing the game industry. As a breakthrough move to set itself apart from the rest of the industry, 8monkey Labs has decided to develop a next-next-gen title. One-upping the current-next-gen industry is no small feat, though. It requires a highly motivated and competent core development team to pull off this bold move. This team is expanding and now seeking a Level Designer for a permanent, full-time position that WILL still be there even after the current game is done.

-A laid-back attitude or a sense of humor
Recommended skills:
-Experience with content requirements for good AI navigation
-Interest in working on many different types of games
-Comfortable working in a "cabal" style small-team environment
Again, this position is for a long-term, permanent core team member.
Designer will be paid competitive salary with benefits based on industry experience.
