Job Description

Job Description

Overview

We’re not looking for employees. We’re looking for passionate builders, hackers, fanatics, and problem-solvers who see gaming as one of the most enjoyable and important hobbies in the world. If you’ve ever stayed up late trying to mod your favorite game or build your own Minecraft world in 72 hours and couldn’t quit until it worked - you’re our kind of people.

This is a role for driven, restless minds who want to prove themselves by building something extraordinary. Think of this less like a job and more like joining a skunkworks team of excited creators who want to be a part of a small, dynamic, team building something worth playing.

If the idea of outworking, outthinking, and out-creating the big boys excites you, read on.

Responsibilities

  • Translate the Game Director’s creative vision into clear, detailed development tickets that the team can immediately act on.
  • Coordinate and manage tasks across a 7-person dev team, ensuring work is prioritized and delivered on schedule.
  • Run stand-ups, syncs, and coordination calls to keep everyone aligned and moving in the same direction.
  • Conduct hands-on QA testing across all aspects of the game (mechanics, systems, performance, UI, etc.), filing detailed bug / issue tickets.
  • Track and follow through on tickets to ensure issues are resolved effectively and nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Act as a bridge between creative vision and technical execution, ensuring details are never lost in translation.
  • Help build and refine our internal processes as the studio grows — from task pipelines to QA standards.
  • Offer feedback and suggestions on how to improve the game and player experience

Requirements

Qualifications

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — you love making complex things clear and actionable.
  • Passion for video games and a sharp eye for quality, from mechanics to player experience.
  • Proficiency in Unreal Engine (UE4 / UE5) development.
  • Hands-on experience building or testing games (your own projects count).
  • Exceptional aptitude for problem-solving, rapid learning, and obsessive iteration.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for ticket-writing and team coordination.
  • Self-motivated and comfortable taking ownership of tasks while working closely with a small team.
  • Bonus Points For :

  • Experience with task management tools (e.g., Jira, Trello, Asana, Notion).
  • A portfolio of Unreal projects, mods, or game jam prototypes.
  • Prior QA experience (indie or professional).
  • Familiarity with survival, extraction, or systems-driven games.
  • Why Join Us

  • Direct impact — your ideas and effort won’t get lost; they’ll shape the final product.
  • Very limited hierarchy — bureaucracy won’t slow us down
  • Elite squad — work alongside people as driven and obsessive as you are.
  • Acceleration — grow faster here than in any traditional studio.
  • Cultural Impact - We believe games are important
  • Self-funded - We have no one to answer to but the players
  • Benefits

  • Medical / Dental / Vision Insurance Plans
  • Life Insurance
  • 401k
  • Flexible, “Unlimited” PTO Policy
  • 1-year subscription to Audible
  • Full employee access to Impact Theory University
  • 2 Complimentary Books (Radical Confidence by Lisa Bilyeu and Principles by Ray Dalio)
  • Compensation for this role is salaried at $85,000 per year.
