Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we're also on a mission - to build a better world through the power of play.
Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.
Mojang Studios seeks an experienced Narrative Designer to help develop story opportunities in and around all the Minecraft game experiences we make. Minecraft is fortunate to be one of the most widely played games in the world, drawing in millions of new and experienced, young and old players from around the globe, and every one of those players creates their own story inside the Minecraft universe. As a Narrative Designer, your work and passion will enhance those players' stories and the enduring mysteries at the heart of our blocky world.
All applicants for this position must demonstrate significant experience and accomplishment in both storytelling in video games and in your personal relationship with Minecraft (both classic Minecraft and very preferably also Minecraft Dungeons).
The narrative designer is responsible for collaborating effectively with internal and external partners to expand Minecraft worldbuilding and constantly strengthen Minecraft's legacy of vibrant player storytelling.
Among other responsibilities, the Narrative Designer will:
Create new stories, characters, and essential elements of environmental storytelling for a wide range of narrative experiences. Different Minecraft games have widely varying narrative needs, and you will be flexible enough to see the value in all of these different styles.
Help educate internal and external partners about Minecraft's storytelling history, opportunities, and unique style of worldbuilding. This education will require the ability to adapt communication and documentation styles to meet your audiences' many varied needs. You should be able to demonstrate your proven ability to evangelize the value of tightly integrated narrative design across art, gameplay, user experience, and audio partners.
Create and maintain internal worldbuilding reference material and be adept at repurposing that reference material to address the needs of multiple game and non-game creative audiences.
Lead production and communication efforts for narrative projects as needed. You already have a demonstrable ability to build and drive production schedules and feedback loops for new content creation.
Partner effectively with out-of-game storytelling opportunities such as print publishing and other consumer products to help build authenticity and worldbuilding opportunities even when players aren't actively playing.
Build a better world. One of Mojang's core values is the aspiration that Minecraft can help players have a positive impact on the world around them. This aspiration is a very natural partner to all of our core game creation decisions, and you will bring a unique perspective and resolve to the question of how our stories can make a difference both in and out of our games.
Be an avid consumer and reasonable critic of Minecraft and video games more broadly. You must love games, but in a way that still allows you to acknowledge their flaws. Your passion for narrative in games will lead to unexpected inspiration for and sometimes challenging conversations about the responsibilities of interactive storytelling.

Requirements:
Tangible proof that you have done all the responsibilities listed above.
Self-awareness sufficient to say how you can do more than a few of those things better next time. We are all learning, and we're looking forward to learning with and from you!

Mojang Studios
Mojang Studios is a Microsoft-owned game developer. The company was founded in Stockholm, Sweden and has offices around the world, including Stockholm, Redmond, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai. We're always working on new and exciting ways to expand the Minecraft universe.
Our community is global and incredibly diverse. We keep this in mind when developing anything, as we want people to feel included in Minecraft. And in recruiting, our goal is to make Mojang Studios as diverse as our community.
We got started as a tiny indie developer, and part of our culture still reflects that heritage. But we're also proud to belong to Xbox Game Studios, which creates unique opportunities to grow and develop.
To help us achieve amazing things, we have built an equally amazing studio space. Situated right on the water by Söder Mälarstrand, it's filled to the brim with all the tools, toys and caffeine required to create world-class entertainment.
But in the end, it's the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you'll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals - all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
