In the world of AAA game development, technology is the silent engine that drives creativity. From managing the massive data pipelines required for high-fidelity animation to ensuring the ironclad security of unreleased Nintendo intellectual property, the IT department is the backbone of our studio. We are looking for a leader who moves beyond “fixing computers” to “owning outcomes”—a professional who can provide a stable, secure, and scalable environment where our developers can do their best work without friction. Job Overview: IT Manager Feature Details Company Name Next Level Games (A subsidiary of Nintendo Co., Ltd.) Job Title IT Manager Primary Location Vancouver, BC, Canada (On-site 5 days/week) Employment Type Full-Time Level Manager / Supervisor Annual Salary Range $125,000 – $175,000 CAD Reports To Studio Director of Technology Core Focus Leadership, Strategy, Security, and Operational Readiness The Culture: Why Next Level Games?

At NLG, we believe that success is a team sport. We place careful consideration into building an environment where everyone—from the IT department to the Art team—feels welcome, respected, and empowered. We avoid “hero culture” in favor of sustainable, predictable systems that allow our employees to have a life outside of work while achieving world-class goals. The Role: What You’ll Be Doing As the IT Manager, you are the primary point of accountability for the studio’s technical infrastructure. This is a leadership-first role. While you must possess a deep technical background to make informed decisions, your daily focus will be on direction, decision-making, and people management rather than hands-on individual contribution. 1. Team Leadership & Fostering Accountability You will lead a talented IT team, providing them with the clarity and support they need to excel. 2. Strategic Operational Oversight You will partner closely with the IT Systems Architect to guide the studio’s technical direction. 3.

Next Level Games (NLG), a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo Co., Ltd., is looking for a versatile and creative Prop Artist/Animator to join our elite development team in Vancouver. This unique hybrid role sits at the heart of our environmental storytelling. We aren’t just looking for someone who can model a chair; we are looking for someone who can model that chair, rig it to break, and animate its debris to fly across the room in a way that feels distinctly “Nintendo.” If you have a passion for the technical side of modeling and the expressive side of animation, this is your chance to make a tangible impact on world-class titles. Job Overview: Prop Artist / Animator Category Specification Company Name Next Level Games (Nintendo Co., Ltd.

Collaborative World Building You will work side-by-side with Level Designers and Environment Artists to dissect the gameplay needs of a specific stage. 2. Full-Spectrum Asset Creation Unlike traditional siloed roles, you will own the entire lifecycle of a prop: 3. Technical Artistry You will use your “technical eye” to inform modeling decisions. By understanding how an object needs to move (rigging/animation), you can preemptively adjust the mesh topology to avoid deformation issues. This proactive approach saves time and ensures a higher level of polish in the final product. 4. Workflow & Pipeline Standards Working in tandem with the Environment Art and Rigging departments, you will help establish and maintain best practices.
