ABOUT THE COMPANY

We are Soul Atlas, a rebel crew of fantasy creators crafting an expansive and mysterious high fantasy universe, where sacred cities rise in splendour, ancient powers twist through mortal hands, and echoes of the afterlife ripple through the myths of our world.

Our stories unfold across films, games, music, graphic novels, and more.

We began as a small team of dreamers who refused to give away our IP and decided to build our own universe from scratch. Four years later, our creative fleet has grown to more than 150 passionate contributors worldwide.

Our current slate includes:

🎬 Three short films (including Leilani, currently in post-production)

📖 A nine-issue graphic novel series

🎮 A tabletop RPG and card game

🎶 A fully orchestrated fantasy soundtrack

🛍️ A webstore for merchandise, handcrafted art, and lore-inspired collectables

We are entering the most exciting chapter yet: turning our creative vision into a fully functional, data-driven marketing and e-commerce ecosystem.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re seeking a Game Developer, someone who has great passion for Tabletop RPGs, boardgames, and card games, and who has the ambition of making their own games or improving existing ones with new and interesting mechanics.

This role is about consistency, creativity and passion. You’ll work directly with our Games Department Lead to further develop our game projects, starting with the TTRPG. You’ll also be working closely with:

• Our Writers

• Our Editors

• Our Game Producer

• Our Game Testers

Together, you’ll take Soul Atlas games above and beyond!

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES

Immediate Priorities

• Learn the extensive Soul Atlas lore.

• Learn the game system we are currently developing.

• Work on writing and adapting rules for our games.

• Work with leadership to understand priorities and speed up game development.

Midterm to Long-Term Goals

• Help us launch four individual one-shot adventures for our TTRPG

• Collaborate on writing our full rulebook.

• Begin concept work on our future card game.

YOU

You are creative, passionate, and unafraid to experiment with different game systems.

You have:

• Vast experience with TTRPGs, preferably with systems that are not just D&D.

• Some experience with game design, preferably with TTRPGs, boardgames or cardgames. But any game design experience is appreciated.

• Familiarity with tools like Notion and Miro.

• Good communication skills, you are available to report on your progress to the team and are quick to ask any questions to speed up progress.

• Experience with writing rules, modding games, or customizing existing games.

• A love for fantasy worlds, storytelling, and worldbuilding (a big plus!)

Bonus points if you’ve worked in:

• Creative studios or media companies
• Fantasy or film projects

TIME COMMITMENT

Part-time: around 10–15 hours per week, depending on project timelines.

Fully remote, flexible, and compatible with other commitments — we respect your time and autonomy.

COMPENSATION (READ CLOSELY!)

Salary:

At this point, there is no salary. Like the rest of the leadership and creative crew, you’ll be building this adventure as a co-entrepreneur with shared ownership potential.

Profit Participation:

You will be compensated through a profit-sharing structure, currently under final legal review. This means that as Soul Atlas grows, your contributions directly translate into potential future revenue.

This structure allows everyone in the project - from creatives to executives - to benefit from Soul Atlas’s eventual commercial success. More details will be shared during the interview.
