Your future is our future; we are a game development studio that is working at the edges of computer science: Graph Databases, Artificial intelligence, Microservice fabrics, Cutting-edge graphic engine pipeline support, and an internal vision that will revolutionize our industry. We are looking for rockstar talent to help us deliver our next phase of technology. It is very different from what you can currently find in the marketplace.
