People make games great. And at Survios, we know we can't grow from an acclaimed VR studio to the world's premier game developer and publisher without them. That's why our most valuable investments aren't in the next-generation technology we use to make our games or the new HQ we're building in Marina Del Rey, but in creating a hybrid workplace that seeks out talent across the globe, nurtures its people, and encourages fun. A workplace where every team member knows they're respected and cared for. If you want to join a passionate team of developers driving toward the future of immersive gaming, we'd love to hear from you!
