The role We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Game Director to work directly with the founder.
Game Director / Potential Co-founder — Mankind
Remote · Equity-based · No salary at this stage
Mankind is an early-stage first-person science-fiction MMO-RPG looter-shooter. We’re in the discovery phase, shaping the world, story, visual identity, and core gameplay. Our next milestone is a focused playable prototype that tests how combat, exploration, discovery, and loot work together.
We’re looking for an experienced, hands-on Game Director to work directly with the founder. You’ll help decide what the first playable experience should prove, turn that into a realistic development plan, and contribute directly to prototyping and playtesting.
For the right person, the role could develop into a co-founder partnership with shared responsibility for the game and the studio. Equity, responsibilities, and decision-making authority would be agreed together.
Set gameplay priorities and define the scope of the first playable mission.
Prototype or help implement combat, encounters, level layouts, and loot systems.
Lead playtests and use the results to decide what to improve, simplify, or cut.
Guide contributors across design, programming, art, and narrative.
Identify the skills and resources needed to reach the next milestone.
Released games or strong playable projects that show what you personally designed, built, or led.
Hands-on experience prototyping gameplay in a game engine.
Experience guiding a small team and making scope decisions with limited time and resources.
Clear communication in English and the ability to collaborate remotely.
Experience with first-person shooters, action RPGs, multiplayer games, or loot and progression systems is a plus.
How to apply
Share your CV or professional profile and links to one or two relevant games or playable projects. Explain what you personally contributed and describe one development decision you owned. Include your earliest start date, weekly availability, time zone, and interest in exploring a co-founder partnership.
