Smilegate hires AI quest planner for Lost Ark Mobile — applications close the 31st
Key takeaways

- AI Quest role requires 5+ years of game quest planning experience
- Localization hiring covers 10 languages including Japanese and Chinese
- Lost Ark Mobile development started in 2018; CBT held last year
Smilegate posted a broad hiring drive for Lost Ark Mobile that covers game design, development, graphics, QA, live services, business, and infrastructure — and the listing closes on the 31st of this month. The ad calls out a dedicated "AI Quest Content Planner" role tasked with designing AI-driven quest systems, producing quest data and flow structures, and planning conversations and interactions with language model (LM) integration in mind.
The AI Quest Content Planner role asks for five or more years of hands-on game quest design experience rather than AI engineering credentials. Required skills include proficiency in quest structure design and data production, quarterly-cycle quest planning, Excel-based quest data and script authoring, and a working understanding of narrative structure and character dialogue design. On the AI side the posting asks only for interest and consideration of AI applications to quests, while preferred experience names Unreal Engine, in-game cinematic/storyboard planning, and use or creation of AI-based content tools listed as Crack, Zeta, or GPTRPG.
Other open positions span familiar development tracks: level, balance, scenario, system, and combat design; client and server engineering; character and background art; QA; and community operations. Localization hiring covers ten languages — English, Japanese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, German, French, Thai, Indonesian, Brazilian Portuguese, and Latin American Spanish — explicitly noting regional support for Japan and China. Lost Ark Mobile began development in 2018, was shown in an online showcase and ran a closed beta test (CBT) last year, and remains without a public launch date.
Why it matters
If you design quests and prefer design work over model training, the posting is a rare ask: five-plus years of quest planning experience plus hands-on data and scripting chops, with AI curiosity and prior use of conversational-AI character services tagged as a plus. If you want to apply, check Smilegate’s careers page before the 31st of this month.
