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 that 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:

An entrepreneur; a self-motivated go-getter that enjoys solving problems and sharing the learnings with the team. You leave your ego at the front door and even though you teach us many things about C++, you are always interested in learning from others and creating a safe space for collaboration. You connect with your fellow humans with humour, humility and curiosity. You are excited at being on the cutting edge of technology, and elevating the next generation of Software Engineers!
