We strive to avoid crunch, overtime is optional and always paid, and we offer flexible working hours to allow you to enjoy a normal family life whilst making great games.

Weve helped millions to fight their way through fearsome mobs in Minecraft Dungeons, battle each other and the environment in Rust: Console Edition and most recently worked with Bethesda Game Studios to craft new adventures for Vault Dwellers around the world in Fallout 76.

Were growing rapidly and as a result were looking for a UI Designer to join our studio in Middlesbrough (UK), home to the beautiful North Yorkshire coastline and countryside.
