The pace is fast, the atmosphere is fun, and we’ll push and challenge you to learn and grow beyond anything you’d expect. It’s truly a unique and rewarding experience.

What We Need

Making a video game is hard and Producers are the coxswains that help keep teams rowing in the same direction. We help the people who make great games stay focused on making games – we tank everything else.

Taking notes, coordinating feedback, tracking bugs, and evaluating work-in-progress builds are just a small sample of the types of things Producers do every day. Under the mentorship of a full-time Producer, we’ll work with you to help you build and level-up your production skillset!
