Game Programmer
About BIT ODD
BIT ODD is a group of passionate game artisans hand-crafting mobile games. Our wild idea is this: games should be focused around gameplay and attract players through emotion and innovation rather than just conforming to traditional metrics. They should be made from the ground up with an emphasis on the player experience. They shouldn't be about how many adverts we can show in the first minute, or about how to get players to miss-click on “buy”.
About the job
We're on the lookout for passionate game developers — the ones who were never given a proper chance, the ones stuck in a rut making match-3 games for the wrong reasons, or working on “creative” projects that execs threw at them. Do you still dream of making beautiful games?
BIT ODD is a collaborative startup where the best idea wins, and everyone is encouraged to contribute. Things move fast, priorities can shift quickly, and not everything is perfectly structured — but that's part of the craft. We care about doing things the right way and don’t limit people to narrow roles. If you see something that can be improved, you're expected to jump in and make it happen.
