Our mission is to entertain hundreds of millions of people for decades, with our games, and also through our creative marketing, community, and beyond – while having fun with it.
We’re ordinary people crafting extraordinary games with passion and ambition. Our culture of trust, psychological safety and wellbeing empowers us to aim high, take ownership, and shape the future of mobile games together.

In this role, your focus will be on user research, interaction design, and information architecture. From pre-production to prototyping, you’ll contribute to identifying user needs, creating and validating wireframes, and ensuring design solutions are well-communicated and feasible.
