We focus on connecting developers and designers with projects that match their technical expertise, creative interests, and professional backgrounds.
Role Description:
We're looking to bring on Game Developers and Designers for flexible, part-time opportunities involving commissioned projects across the interactive entertainment industry. Contributors will have opportunities to work on gameplay systems, mechanics, features, 3D assets, and other aspects of game development while collaborating with clients and other professionals when necessary. Responsibilities may include programming, debugging, performance optimization, 3D modeling, asset integration, and assisting with development milestones depending on individual expertise and project requirements. This position has no strict schedules, minimum hourly requirements, or fixed time commitments, making it suitable for freelancers and developers maintaining other professional commitments. Compensation is entirely commission/performance-based, with no earnings cap, and is determined by agreed-upon project terms, completed deliverables, and individual contributions.
Preferred:
Experience 4–5 years of experience in the interactive entertainment or game development industry, preferably involving PC or console development. Familiarity with game development workflows, whether through programming, 3D modeling, animation, technical design, or other relevant specializations. Ability to work independently, communicate with clients, and collaborate with other developers or designers when necessary. A portfolio demonstrating previous projects, technical contributions, creative work, or relevant industry experience is preferred. These are preferences rather than strict requirements, and applicants with varying levels of experience are welcome. This position is open to all types of game developers and designers, regardless of specialization. If you think you're a good fit, feel free to apply through LinkedIn Easy Apply, and we'll review your application.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
