Working with us

Just take a look at the awesome people on our team and we shouldn't need to explain why you would love working here.

If you enjoy being sandwiched in a small, windowless room with a bunch of other people, all staring at computer monitors for hours and days on end like zombies, then you’ve come to the right place! Just joking...

But seriously, we try to do things with originality and imagination. We like to share ideas around the team, and take an initial really good idea or code or piece of art and turn it into something great. And we like to move quickly and release high-quality product as fast as we can to allow the market to help us re-invent what we've done. It also keeps everyone fresh and invigorated. We aim at all costs to avoid becoming stale or complacent and are open to new ideas from all corners of our team.

We expect an ultra high caliber of work effort and product and a sterling team-oriented attitude. If you think that you fit the bill, then you should send us an email to [email protected], along with your bio and, if appropriate, examples of your work or description of a project you completed. We would like to see something that best conveys why you will be a great addition to our team and that gets our attention! In any case, please do not send any emails with files that total more than 10MB.

Thanks for showing interest.

Are you interesting in working with us as an Art Director, Freelance Illustrator, Senior Flash Developer, Freelance Flash Developer, Mobile Developer, or Senior Web Developer? We're looking for you!
