Careers

Build the world with us.

Lusion is a small senior studio. We hire slowly, we onboard with documents, and we expect everyone to ship. Open roles are listed below.

How we work

What we expect from everyone here.

Senior, not just experienced. We are not a large team and will not be for years. Every role at Lusion carries real responsibility. We do not hire juniors except when paired tightly with a senior architect.

AI as a force multiplier, not as a substitute. We expect every team member to be fluent with current AI tooling for their craft, to use it daily, and to take responsibility for the output. AI accelerates the work; the human ships it. Candidates who think AI will do their job for them are not our hires. Candidates who think AI is beneath them are not either.

Documented thinking. We operate with a Technical Constitution, a Rendering Budget, a Character Architecture and a Motion Charter. Decisions are written down. Reviews are real. If you find process anti-creative, this is not the right studio for you.

Remote, but accountable. Our team is distributed across Malta, Brazil, the Netherlands, Italy and Poland. We do not require relocation. We do require working overlap with European hours and direct, written communication.

Malta first. Lusion World is incorporated in Malta and we hire in Malta deliberately. Our Creative Director is being onboarded as the first Maltese Jobsplus-registered employee. The Community Manager follows. As we scale, our hiring strategy targets University of Malta and MCAST graduates first, with experienced Phase A1 contractors offered relocation to Malta for permanent roles. We are not a remote-only studio with a Maltese letterbox. We are a Maltese studio that works with distributed specialists wherever they are.

Do not see your role.

Lusion will need community management, moderation, QA, marketing, Brazilian creator partnerships and more as the launch approaches. None of those roles are open today. If you believe you are an exceptional fit for one of those areas, write us a short email. We keep a file.

Process

How we hire.

  1. 1

    Application. Email careers@lusion.world. Include the role in the subject line, a paragraph about you, links to relevant work, and one sentence on how you use AI in your craft today.

  2. 2

    First call. 30 minutes with Dick or with the role owner. We are looking for fit and clarity, not catching you out.

  3. 3

    Craft conversation. 60 to 90 minutes with the relevant architect on your craft. Open-ended technical or creative discussion.

  4. 4

    Paid trial. A short paid project, 5 to 10 days. We pay your day rate. You ship something real.

  5. 5

    Offer. Direct contractor agreement, daily rate, governed by an SOW. We do not use staffing agencies or recruiters.

Ground rules

Honesty about what this is not.

  • We do not run a fast-paced sprint culture. We run a documented, reviewed, sustainable one.
  • We do not pay below market. We do not pay 2x market either. We pay senior rates for senior work.
  • We do not provide visa sponsorship at this stage.
  • We do not do unpaid trials. Ever.
  • We do not respond to mass-applied templated emails. Personalise or do not bother.

Ready.
