About the role
We are looking for a Game Developer with 2-10 years of experience who is a creative, high-energy builder ready to ideate, prototype, and ship mobile games that millions of people play. You'll join a small, elite team at a profitable company with two #1 App Store apps, owning the full lifecycle of casual games from concept to launch on a monthly cadence.
What will you be doing?
-
Ideate, build, prototype, and launch a new game every 2-4 weeks — from empty repo to live in front of millions of players
-
Pitch your own game mechanics, playtest them, and make the call on what ships and what gets cut
-
Own the entire game lifecycle independently: concept, art direction, build, launch, and post-launch iteration
-
Collaborate with in-house artists when needed, but drive projects to 90%+ completion on your own
-
Rapidly switch between projects with high energy, bringing fresh creative ideas to each new game
Key Requirements
-
Strong portfolio of personal game projects that are publicly available (on Itch.io, App Store, or web) — must demonstrate you can take games from zero to finished on your own
-
Proficiency in Unity (preferred) or equivalent game engine (Unreal, web-based); must be able to code — not just use AI as a crutch
-
Creative and high-energy personality who thrives in a fast-paced, startup environment and is excited to ship quickly
-
Based in or willing to relocate to San Francisco — 5 days/week in-office required
-
Mobile game studio experience OR extensive personal projects; large AAA studio experience alone without indie/personal work is a red flag
