Great games are made by equally great people. We’re a small, but growing, company where each team member can have an impact. We don’t do “crunch culture”, and we want our team members to have work-life balance. We do this by offering remote work opportunities (work where you want!) and flexible hours (work when you want!). We believe in transparency fostered by communication and collaboration. While we got our start in beautiful Victoria, B.C, our Kanodians are now a remote workforce, spread across Canada, but connected by our shared values.
