Jobs
All positions are for our Winter Park, Florida studio. You must be able to work in the United States to be eligible.
Our beliefs about work environments are pretty simple: give talented and experienced people the tools they need, the colleagues who will stimulate them, and the opportunity to build games they want to play. We are constantly on the lookout for self-motivated, self-directed individuals who are interested in all aspects of building great entertainment experiences.
The people who work at Helios Interactive are multi-talented, with expertise in one or two particular areas. We don’t have managers or producers of any kind. We tend to hire senior people who have shipped several titles before arriving here. And we have also hired a few people right out of school when we’ve been impressed by an interesting game, mod, or level that the candidate built.
Even if you don’t see a specific job listing on this page that matches your background, please still contact us — we’re always hiring smart people. We are always looking for smart, talented, creative, interesting people who are solving interesting problems—people who will make our products and our company the best in the industry.
If you think Helios Interactive sounds like the place for you, feel free to contact us even if you don’t see a specific job listing that matches your background.
