About Us

We are Snackbar Studio, an all-remote, indie studio passionate about beautiful, narrative games (and also snacks. You gotta have snacks). We’re searching for a senior game programmer to join our team of industry veterans and bring our vision to life. If you’re skilled, experienced, and eager to make an impact on a small, creative team, we want to hear from you!

We recently secured funding for our first title - The SnackBar at the End of the World - a top-down, chill-action RPG for PC, Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox. Players take the role of a chef in a magical, alternate-reality 1960s Italy where they forage, hunt, cook, and scheme to make lire, serve restaurant guests their favorite meals, and rescue their family from the authoritarian mayor’s prison. (Check out our non-public, investor trailer here.)

Our game embraces antifascist, anti-racist, LGBTQ+ inclusive, feminist themes. So does our team. If that sounds like your jam, please read on!
