YOUR JOB TITLE IS YOUR LAUNCHING PAD, NOT YOUR CONFINES

We are looking for creative individuals across multiple disciplines that can bring their unique insight and expertise to a growing team of ambitious like-minded developers. We encourage you to let your job title merely be your starting point, not define your potential.

HELP US BUILD SOMETHING AMBITIOUS

Robotoki is focused on building genre redefining experiences that extend beyond any single device. Join us in creating innovative new technology and gameplay that connects our unique game universes through multi-screen, cross platform, and cross genre experiences.


FOSTERING A HAPPIER, HEALTHIER TEAM

A work-life balance is extremely important to us here at Robotoki. We feel the need for our team to take time away from the studio to creatively recharge and refresh themselves. Whether its taking a vacation, or spending time with their families, creating this balance is a crucial part of our studio culture.

Unlimited PTO Policy

One of the strongest ways we encourage this balance is with our Unlimited PTO Policy, which affords our team the freedom and flexibility to take time off for vacation, family outings, important personal events, and any other personal time they feel they need, whenever they need it.  

Mandatory Personal Days

 

 In addition to the open Paid Time Off Policy, we request that all employees take a paid personal day on their birthday, spouse birthdays and children birthdays, along with important anniversaries.  

Building a Stronger Studio

 

We believe a healthy personal life alleviates the pressures of a career life, allowing our team to be more emotionally and intellectually invested in building great games and a stronger studio. This culture is maintained by having a small, close knit team, that we'd like to keep together from project to project, we encourage every member of Robotoki to become part of our foundation and to be invested in the success of not only the project on hand, but the studio as a whole. To accomplish this, we enroll every full-time, exempt (salaried) employee into our Studio Retention Plan, which includes the ability to participate in our Studio Bonus Plan and potential Stock Options. 

In addition, every member of the team gets to enjoy the fully stocked kitchen, free rental library with hundreds of games, movies, books, and other entertainment, as well as participate in team outings (movie premieres, sports events, BBQs), and weekly game nights in the studio. 

Healthcare For Team and Families

Mental and emotional health is key, but physical health is equally important, not only for our team but also our families. This is why we offer flexible healthcare options that give our team a choice between affordable HMO or more open PPO policies.
