Game Developer - New Game (Berlin)

We are the makers of casual mobile hit Love & Pies, which globally launched in September 2021 and has now found its way into the hands of millions of players around the world. We’re backed by Supercell, one of the biggest and best in the industry.

We make games for everyone that are snackable yet nourishing — built to fit into your daily life, but with the emotional depth of your favourite TV show. Our team always comes first at Trailmix, and our culture is built on both high performance and high care — we strive to be the best versions of ourselves, but always within an environment based on inclusivity, respect and safety, no matter who you are or where you come from.

Please Note: We are unable to provide a working visa for this position at this time and will only be considering candidates from within Germany who can attend the studio based in Berlin a minimum of 3 times per week.

About the role

Love & Pies represents the people we are and the people we love, and we’re always looking to add more people who want to design games for everyone.
