Remote working is in our DNA – since our inception in 2018, we have had employees across the U.S., England, Canada, Australia, and Japan. While we welcome people to join us in our Los Angeles office, this will never be a requirement.

  • Excellent teammate - you are responsible, accountable, and enjoy collaborating with others
  • Minimum 3-5 years of game industry experience with at least one shipped commercial title
