Second Dinner is an independent game development studio that is here to make the most fun games in the world. Not super fun games. Not SUPER DUPER fun games. We mean the MOST fun games. As a remote-first company, we want the most talented teammates wherever they call home. While our headquarters is in Irvine, California, most of our team is fully remote! We strongly believe a diverse team with varied perspectives makes us a better company, and in turn, will help us make better games. If you can bring something new to the table and expand our point of view, that's a huge upside, and we’d love to meet you!
