CAREERS
We prioritise fostering a culture that inspires and empowers every member of the team in the pursuit of our shared mission: to make great games that millions of people love to play every day for years.
Great people do great things in great workplaces. As a result, we invest in making our working environments the best they can be, cultivating collaboration and high levels of autonomy, and committing to an anti-crunch philosophy.
From day one, we’ve embraced a 4 day work week because we believe this output-focused approach enables our team to deliver their best work, optimising productivity while also improving their overall wellbeing.
Just as our games are designed for everyone, so is our workplace. We act ethically towards each other, our players, suppliers and the environment. Our ongoing commitment is to build an increasingly diverse, inclusive team that reflects our audiences and the wider society we engage with.
In addition to a competitive salary, you can expect some excellent perks and benefits: generous holidays, private medical insurance, life assurance, enhanced family leave, a robust pension plan and opportunities for growth and development. Our profit-related bonus scheme rewards excellent performance, and our employee assistance programme and 24/7 virtual health service prioritise your wellbeing.
We offer flexible hybrid working and provide complimentary parking to make those days in the studio hassle-free, and regular team socials to keep the fun times coming.
