What Makes Us Different?
Cooperative, profit-sharing model
Fully remote
Approx. 10–15 hours per week contribution
Real ownership and creative input
Revenue participation when games launch
This is a volunteer role. There is no salary.
All contributors share in profits based on contribution under our co-op model.
Team meetings typically run between 18:00–21:00 UK time, so please ensure that works in your timezone.
Who This Is Perfect For
* Graduates looking for real experience
* Career switchers building a portfolio
* Developers who want to ship games
* Creators who value collaboration over hierarchy
* People who want genuine skin in the game
If you're looking for a traditional salaried role, this won't be the right fit.
If you're looking to build something meaningful with real upside, we'd love to hear from you.
