- Contributing ideas, shaping story direction, and solving narrative challenges
- Playtesting content with a sharp eye for detail, pacing, and player experience
Qualifications
- Experience writing for interactive fiction, games, or similar formats

- Knowledge of free-to-play mechanics and how narrative supports them
- An excellent ear for dialogue, tone, and pacing

Why Fusebox? You’ll be part of a studio building a growing portfolio of narrative-led, live-service games. We care deeply about our stories, our players, and how we work together to create something special.
