Life at PlayPhone
Current Openings

Here at PlayPhone, we take our work seriously, but we know how to have fun doing it. We've created a high-energy environment in which everyone is encouraged to stretch the limits of their creativity. We work in small, highly focused teams designed to promote spontaneity, out-of-the-box thinking and a truly collaborative spirit. No idea is too big or too small-every employee has a say-so.

Our workspace is both invigorating and inspiring. It's a place our team enjoys coming to everyday. Our dress code isn't a code at all-it's whatever is most comfortable (within reason of course!). We want our employees to feel at home-at work.

All of that hard work not only pays off with competitive benefits and salaries, but is also rewarded with lots of nice perks, including daily complimentary lunches, beverages and healthy snacks. We also organize regular company outings to keep things fresh and fun.

At PlayPhone, we're looking for clever, energetic people who share our passion for mobile gaming using tools that are exceptionally engaging, social and, most importantly, innovative.
