Balance between work and personal life is encouraged with flexible paid time off, and company breaks during the summer and winter holidays. We also make time to play, discuss and study games to bond and grow our understanding of our players as a team.

Base salary range between $160,000.00 - $230,000.00 USD (for CA, WA and some other states). In addition, stock options will be awarded as incentive compensation.
