Superbrothers A/V is keeping an eye out for people in 2026 & 2027
Superbrothers Audiovisual Inc, the tiny videogame art and design organization known for 2011's iOS hit Superbrothers: Sword & Sworcery EP, 2012's Sound Shapes contributions and 2021/2023's ambitious PS5 effort JETT: The Far Shore + Given Time, is developing a new 2D mystery action pixel videogame, working with a publisher. This new project is in going into production in fall 2026, we’re pretty much staffed up for now but we’re still keeping an eye out for some people.
A little more info about this project and opportunity:
This project as been pretty fun to work on so far, some good people on the team, generally pretty relaxed, some good senior people are steering.
We’ll be in pre-production through to fall 2026, then shifting gears to production through to the end of 2027.
The project has been planned to be satisfyingly finite, immediately legible, entertaining, funny, and generally satisfying for a broad audience.
If you get a chance to be on board for part of the time, then this should be a good gig, hopefully a great gig, challenging in good ways, a project to be proud of, with good friends made along the way.
General guidelines for prospective Superbrothers personnel:
these are all contractor type roles, even the full time ones
compensation is intended to be reasonable, comfortable, competitive
people with unique and diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply
location: working remote, but in eastern time zone is a strong pref for most roles
being Canadian is preferred
ideally, personnel would be able and willing to get to Montreal once a year

Has substantial professional experience as a senior gameplay engineer, Unity engineer, technical director, lead engineer, or similar, on shipped games.
Is strong in Unity and C# and comfortable working independently in a production codebase.
Has strong engineering fundamentals and good instincts around architecture, maintainability, performance, debugging, and technical debt.
Has excellent judgment about when to build the elegant solution, when to build the pragmatic solution, and when to throw the whole thing away.
Can communicate clearly with designers, artists, producers, and creative leadership.
Is highly hands-on, proactive, curious, resourceful, and collaborative.
Has a strong sense of game feel and player experience, and an interest in understanding the creative side of game development.
Enjoys working on small teams where everyone has a meaningful amount of ownership.

Is genuinely psyched about the opportunity to join the international art and design conspiracy known as Superbrothers.
