Job description
Fundamentally Games is reimagining publishing for LiveOps games. We focus on helping game developers with bringing their games to live and managing the live operations to scale their game. Our engagement-led strategy aims to scale games faster by getting more players, doing more things, more often and for longer.
We’re a small but growing team, and we value work-life balance, so we have flexible working policies in place, subject to a few conditions and the requirements of projects you may be working on of course! Firstly, we all work from home (or from a local hot desk) and meet up in person a few times a year – usually in London. We have flexible working hours to support our team to be able to do their job around their personal commitments. For example, if you have kids, you can work between the hours your children are in school, or if you’re full time you can do more hours a day and only work 4 days a week, depending on your job role. We also let you work on personal projects and actively encourage you to take part in game jams or other industry events.
