Overview
We want you to #JOINTHEREBELLION! For 30 years we've been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley. Rebellion is more than just games: we have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD publish comics and graphic novels such as Judge Dredd.
We are seeking an experienced JavaScript Developer (Full Stack) to join our Code team, to help build and support internal and external web applications and APIs to support our game engine team.

This opportunity can be based at either of our studios in Oxford or Warwick, with relocation support if needed and flexibility around hybrid working options.
We believe in face-to-face collaboration but are open to discussing hybrid arrangements based on individual needs.
