Summary: At DoubleDown Interactive LLC, the Seattle‑based global gaming company offers a culture grounded in innovation and recognition, with on‑site amenities such as a massage room, stocked breakroom, wellness days, continuing‑education stipends, and employee awards—all of which support work‑life balance and culture.

As Seattleites savor the last bits of summer with sailboat excursions and strolls through Pike Place Market, one local company is creating opportunities for tech talent to thrive — and shape an industry in the process. 

At DoubleDown Interactive LLC, team members benefit from a culture that is as innovative as it is empowering. In addition to enabling its people to help define the future of global gaming, the company offers a culture steeped in support and recognition. 

This culture is reflected in the company’s Seattle headquarters, where employees have access to a massage room, a fully stocked breakroom and other amenities that make it easy to stay balanced. The organization also makes an effort to celebrate team members’ achievements through its employee awards program in addition to offering a robust benefits package that includes perks like wellness days, a continuing education stipend and company-sponsored family outings.
