COMPANY DESCRIPTION

★ Small_ Independent_Big Projects

As we start work on new projects we need to ensure that we’re working with the latest technology and bringing in a talented and experienced team capable of leading ambitious projects.

While we’re currently growing rapidly, we pay a lot of attention to ensuring that we maintain small autonomous teams (10-15 people max). This not only means we work on a more “human” scale, but also that everyone can really impact the game with their ideas and initiatives.

★ What We Do Differently

If you’re working with us you will NEVER crunch (it’s nuts that this has to be said), you will have excellent health cover, five weeks paid leave (plus public holidays), subsidized meals, flexibility with work time, free fruit and other noms and of course as much coffee as you can drink.

We also do regular trips to some of the most legendary gaming events in the world, including excursions to National Parks and other such shenanigans (team building right?), so there’s plenty of opportunities for motivated people to get out and see the world. Well, at least, we were doing this before Covid happened, and plan to do it again if events are ever a thing in the future…

While we’re an indie company, our financial stability allows us to offer the kind of work environment that we always wished we could have, so we’re always scheming new ways to make our work lives enjoyable.

★ Comfortable Work Environment

We’re always open to suggestions regarding new tech and hardware, learning resources like books, patreon subscriptions, or training and of course everyone gets to pick what goes in the junk food cupboard. So you should always have access to everything you need to be happy in the office.

In addition, Bordeaux is an awesome city as it’s big enough to have plenty to do, but small enough that you can walk across it in half an hour. Beautiful 19th century architecture and more restaurants than you can poke a stick at make it a great place to live. You’re also 45 minutes drive from the beach and 3 hours from the ski slopes. While access to a very well connected airport and a 2 hour high speed train ride to Paris mean you’re never far away from anything.
