We're a brand new independent game dev studio and we believe the time is right to shake things up in AAA game dev. We're looking to hire the best talent in the industry, regardless of where you live. We have an office in Los Angeles for local folks who choose to use it, but we started the studio with remote work in mind. The office is purely optional, for those who prefer coming to an office on some days.
