Grow our team with a positive, whole human centered style, and Radical Candor approach.

Compensation for this role will be in the form of a revenue share arrangement with no payment available until launch of the product. All members of the team are currently working under equity or revenue share until we can secure funding and or revenue. The way this will work is that an hourly rate will be set upon signing your contract. Hours worked toward this project will be logged and once the game starts taking in revenue, the accumulated value of work based on the recorded hours will be paid back over time according to a payment schedule in the contract agreement.
If this sounds like you or even close to you, we don’t expect 100% matches and love a surprise, please note your interest here:
