• Remote work, able to join core hours 10AM-5PM PST
• Salaried, full-time position

Company Description

Raid Base Inc is a USA-based game service development studio, founded in 2020 and funded through Seed and Series A and B.

Our mission is to develop experiences that match the level of commitment and enthusiasm that connoisseur players put into the games they love.

A few attributes in great developers that we believe assist us toward this mission are:

• Personal ownership
• Good judgment
• Leadership
• Emotional intelligence

We are crafting an open-world, sandbox PvPvE game, in an original IP. Players will build a reputation for themselves and for their crew through everything they do, in turn building a stronger community that is tempered through adversity.

The Raid Base team is composed of developers who actively play games and we established this studio to foster a more intimate dialogue with our players. If you are a developer who believes that studios need to have a deeper connection with and respect for players, we would love to hear from you!

During these uncertain times and rapidly changing environment surrounding COVID-19, all positions at RAID BASE, inc. are virtual/remote. There is a possibility at a future date that we will find a location for physical office(s), but nothing so far is planned.
