Our corevalues

03 — Careers

These five values are what we stand for as a company. We hire for them, work by them and talk about them in every interview, so read them before you apply.

  1. Value 01

    Ownership over compliance

    Everyone here has a stake in the outcome. You don't just execute; you build. Process matters less than the result.

  2. Value 02

    Transparency & trust

    We share our numbers, progress and challenges openly. We raise our hands when we win — or when we make a mistake.

  3. Value 03

    Data + creativity

    We balance intuition with insight. Art meets analytics. Game dev is about finding fun and being able to grow it.

  4. Value 04

    Lean but fearless

    We move fast, stay focused and take smart bets. Fewer people, more empowerment, creativity, hard work and mastery.

  5. Value 05

    Win as one

    No silos. No heroes. Every success is collective. We focus on each other's strengths and win together.

Why join the squad

We create legendary, genre-defining games that players all over the world enjoy for years. If these values sound like you, we'd love to hear from you.
