While we are still recruiting for the roles from our June recruitment article, we wanted to also open recruitment for this role in order to bring attention to the important role that the Translation team plays in making Netrunner as accessible as possible to people around the world. Without their incredibly hard work the game would not have the global community it does today. To help their work, we are putting out the call for Graphic Designers to join the Translation team and assist their work in templating the translated cards!
Note that this role is for a member of the Translation team, but it is not itself a translator role – fluency in languages other than English is not a requirement for the role.
If you are reading this far in the future, please check out our recruitment portal for the latest information on all of our positions.
Translation Graphic Designer
As a Translation Graphic Designer, you will be the one responsible for making sure that translated NSG cards are consistent in their layout with previously-published cards. You will be working very closely with the Translation team to make sure that the work of the translators is accurately represented on cards while still following the established card layout look. Your work will enable the availability of NSG sets in several languages for many people around the world!
Applications will close once we’ve filled 3 slots.
Duties
- Complete templating and layout of the cards, translating cards both from new sets as well as existing sets.
- Ensure cards align with established NSG practices and comply with our EDI guidelines.
Current/Upcoming Projects
- Complete templating of translations of existing sets.
- Design and layout required materials for the release of our next set.
Must-have skills
- Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills.
Preferred skills
(These skills would be nice, but are not essential.)
- Proven experience in graphic design.
- Strong understanding of design principles, typography.
- Proficiency in the graphic design software Affinity Publisher would be a bonus.
- Ability to speak a language other than English would be helpful.
Workload
As a Translation Graphic Designer, you will be expected to commit around 4-5 hours a week in the weeks before a new set release and you will be checking in consistently with the Translation team to ensure your work is accurate to the translation process. In the periods between set releases, the workload will be considerably lower. Our team is split across the globe, so some flexibility with time zones is helpful for meetings.
A note on diversity
We acknowledge that the tabletop industry as a whole needs to do a better job with diversity. We are prioritizing those applicants that can bring to NSG different experiences and points of view than we currently have on our team.
NOTE: Null Signal Games is a volunteer organization. All roles at Null Signal Games are unpaid.
