Summary

At Devolver Digital we work with a range of project types, developers, platforms, budgets and timelines. We know that no two games - or developers - are the same, so we adapt our approach to suit the needs of our projects and teams.

You’ll not only bring games into the world while learning and growing. The work that you do will also benefit the growth of our partner teams. You will “own” a number of projects and be responsible for them being successfully published.

• Providing the Production and wider Devolver team with pertinent information about the game content and timings to optimize its release.

  • Development support (code / data.)
  • Focus tests.
  • Cultural reviews.
  • Brand / PR / Marketing partnerships
• Working with first-party platforms both dev-side (i.e. product creation, release management and patching) and store-side (assets, metadata and localized text.)
• Manage legal relationships with partners through from NDAs to contract amendments.
• Help Devolver document as many processes as possible in order to share knowledge.
• Support, challenge and improve our communication and production tools.
