Fed up of endless unpaid overtime?
We're a new breed of games company.
We're evolving the games industry by being different and we look after our team well. We rarely crunch and overtime is optional and always paid to allow you to enjoy a normal family life whilst still looking on some pretty interesting titles.
Due to continued growth, we're looking for a number of Lead Programmers to join our thriving team.
Initially you’ll work remotely due to the Covid-19 pandemic and when our team returns to the studio, you’ll have the option to set up camp at our HQ in Middlesbrough, UK. We're willing to consider 100% remote working for this role (UK only).
Currently Double Eleven is working fully remotely and we continue to assess the COVID-19 situation, with the safety of our staff our top priority. We’re still actively recruiting and onboarding new staff and will provide you with everything you need to join remotely.
Strictly no agencies (sorry guys!) and we're unable to sponsor a visa at this time.
