We're building a game tech platform for discovering and creating engaging gaming experiences.

We need a driven, enthusiastic and passionate Android developer who is still fascinated and excited about the potential of great apps and mobile-based games. Devs who are or have been gamers will be a better fit for this role. You'll build something that sits at the intersection of TikTok, Steam and Roblox. 

We promise a great learning and working experience with a team of entrepreneurs, devs, gamers, animators, award-winning UI/UX designers and advisors who have been CXOs of billion-dollar companies.

Our startup hires with a talent-first approach and we value skill and drive levels far more than just brand-name colleges on your resume. We have hired many people from these top colleges, but we hired them purely based on their skills and cultural fit.
