Full-Time, Permanent | Remote (UK-based)

We are looking for an Engineer to help scale our venture-backed interactive storytelling studio - Scriptic (BAFTA-nominated and available on Netflix). We’re defining a new medium of screen-native, streaming-first playable dramas, delivering prestige branching narratives to a mass-market audience.

Our mission: to become the HBO of playable drama by 2030 - building original, screen-native IP that lives across platforms like Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, and emerging cloud services.

Our format blends imagery, audio, text, and video into seamless, emotionally-driven interactive experiences - built for TV, laptop, mobile, and ultimately, cloud distribution. In the short term, we're scaling to Steam and console to build the foundations for that future.

Since inception, we’ve been pioneers in blending storytelling with technology, using GenAI tools like GPT-4, MidJourney, and ElevenLabs to elevate narrative while staying lean and creatively agile.

This is an opportunity to join a bold, early-stage studio rewriting what interactive storytelling can be - and play a key role in its next phase of growth.
