As a level builder you will be primarily responsible for building levels for games we have in development at

monitoring and responding to community activity, testing games and contributing to game ideas.
We require that a level builder has the following skills:
- Demonstrate at least 5 levels you have built appropriate to Nitrome (think 2d and retro).
- Desirable editors would include Little Big Planet, N, Game Maker or a flash game that includes a level editor that used physics or a platform engine.
- Demonstrate a creative thinking in being able to use provided assets in ways beyond their obvious use.
- Be able to make levels pretty using the assets provided without sacrificing playability.
- Must be prepared to take a test to demonstrate your ability.
- Mark-up language experience such as HTML and XML would be desirable but not necessary.
- Industry experience would be a bonus but is not required.
- Be a keen games player and in particular play lots of retro or 2d games.
