We’re Growing and Hiring!

Creative independence

Game making in New Zealand comes with a creative edge, where you’ll create innovative and original IP. We make our own original IP rather than taking orders working on other people’s project. Teams are typically smaller with less hierarchy, meaning you’ll have a real influence and the chance to stamp your mark of games. We’ve had both self-published hit games and attracted investment and attention from the world’s major games publishers.

Booming industry

 

 

Exceptional lifestyle

We’re high-tech, English-speaking, family-friendly, cosmopolitan and have the best coffee in the world. Being surrounded by nature is part of the New Zealand way of life. From having a beach to yourself to bush walks on your lunch break, it’s all right here.  Mountains are a weekend field trip away.

Our game studios pride themselves on being great employers and New Zealand was rated second in the world for work/life balance in HSBC’s 2015 Expat Explorer survey. It’s about balancing a good day’s work with time for family, friends and recreation.

Experienced Game Developers Wanted

With all this growth, we’re short on professionals with several years’ experience to lead our teams or take on senior roles. Check out our Jobs Board.
