Who we are

A Thinking Ape builds communities through mobile games with emergent social play and original IP. We released our first game in 2009 and have been profitable and growing every year since. We are a bottom-up driven company with small teams that have a big focus on ownership and data driven decision making. In 2020 we were acquired by Embracer Group through its subsidiary DECA Games. This acquisition marks an important milestone enabling us to scale our team and bring our growing portfolio of games to more players across the globe.

The team

As part of this team, your role as a UI/UX designer will be to work in collaboration with a team of game designers, artists and engineers dedicated to continuing to improve the experience for our players with iterations to existing systems, development of new features and content. Your work will directly impact our players and drive their experience and decisions in our games.
