Job Description

Want to work for a growing studio where you will have a direct and significant impact on the future of our games and new projects?

Dovetail Games is committed to promoting diversity, and all applicants will be considered on their merit, qualifications, competence, and talent regardless of any protected characteristics. At the individual's request, all roles will be considered for part-time, term-time only, and job shares.

With a huge emphasis on our culture and wellbeing, you'll experience an environment where you will be challenged but supported. We have an industry-leading work-life balance, and flexible working is offered from day one! Want to work fully UK-based remote as that's where you do your best work? That is fine by us, though certain roles will require a more hybrid style with time in the office. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship on this role, so applications that require a visa will not be considered. This is UK-based remote only.

Our studio is situated in a river-front building in the heart of the Historic Dockyard in Chatham, Kent, UK. We are growing fast, developing our games using cutting-edge technology, and delivering these on multiple platforms: PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series S/X.
