Sketchbook Games are a multi-award winning game development studio.

We are looking for a remote programmer to help with:

  • General bug fixing
  • Porting to Steam, PS4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch
  • Optimisation

The ports will be releasing around April so we are looking for someone to help as soon as possible as we are aiming to submit the console builds in January to give us plenty of time for any submission related issues.

It’s a plus if you have:

  • In depth experience with various platform TRC’s/ TCR’s/ Lotcheck
  • Access to a PS4, Xbox One or Switch dev kit

Lost Words is developed with Unity in C#. We use JIRA for task/ bug tracking, Bit Bucket/ Git for source control and Discord for team communication.

Diversity and Inclusion:

We are keen to attract all kinds of candidates, particularly those from underrepresented groups in the games industry. We aim to continue to build an inclusive environment and commit to continually listening, reflecting and improving our practices and culture.
