First-class IT Recruitment Solutions

Since inception, this company has been laser-focused on its mission to converge the strengths of the games and TV industries to build an entirely new category: hybrid games. To succeed in forging this new category, they have built a team of experts from around the world, all bringing unique experiences from diverse industries. This, paired with their extensive roster of world-class investors and advisors, empowers them in delivering this next generation of entertainment.

They aim to increase the joy and value of playtime, and realize the full potential of immersive, gamified experiences to entertain, inspire, connect, and develop people around the world. Their mission is to be the ultimate destination for hybrid games, in the same way that Netflix is for TV and film, and Spotify for music. In the future, they plan to host hundreds of games and shows in every category and genre, offering something for everyone to enjoy. In their early stages, their metrics have shown that they are significantly outperforming industry standards, and they are now looking to increase their velocity and supercharge growth.

Regardless of role, department, or level, they focus on cultivating a supportive, team-oriented, and collaborative environment. The beauty of joining their team at this stage is that each department is currently relatively small, meaning that contributions will have an impact on their products, and work will directly influence the evolution of hybrid games.
