As a company focused on making sure our customers have a good experience, Valve employs psychologists to help guide that work. We’re always looking for talented folks to add to our team.

  • Improving existing playtesting methodologies
  • Developing innovative ways of acquiring data to answer questions about Valve's products and business practices
