Level : Mid-Senior

General Description

Red Barrels is the studio behind the immersive indie horror series Outlast, which has terrified more than 40 million players worldwide. Based in Montreal, Red Barrel’s mission is to create unforgettable experiences that leave players' blood running cold.

Why choose Red Barrels for your next adventure in the gaming industry?

• We value all voices, talents, skills, and experiences, making our studio stronger and enabling us to create better games.

Experience shipping at least one AAA title with significant contributions is a plus.
