Who are Timbre Games?
Timbre Games are a Vancouver based early-stage game development studio with over 100 years of founding leadership. We believe culture drives creative, where we draw on community and diversity to build truly unique experiences.
Our mission is to build a world class network of Game Studios; to provide accessible awesomeness to our players, to our team, to the world.
Everyone has a story. Come write yours!
Who you are:
As a human, you’re a visionary explorer, a pursuer of fun, and focused on building community. You see an opportunity within games to do more and to have more than “ just a job”. You’ve had unique experiences both at work and personally that have expanded your curiosities to seek the root of a problem, to seek out issues, and work with people to explore solutions! Your experiences have made you who you are, and that has led to you understanding the importance of diversity in both thinking and in people. Oh, and games… You may like those, too!
Who you are at work:
You lead with humility in all that you do. You are a people person; someone who really enjoys helping others. Acts of service might be your Love Language. You’re great at creating documentation that works for everyone and that makes sense. A strong communicator who can turn chaos into harmony. You love creating organized systems from scratch. Exploring and identifying cause and effect bring you great satisfaction and you’ve cultivated this into a blossoming career! You connect with people through humour and curiosity and these elements make up some of the foundation in your approach to communication.
