TEAM

Our Gaming team is made up of hybrid-casual, casual and mid-core experts. Our 'Core' games team supports internal and external studios worldwide in creating, developing and launching new hit games, whilst our 'Live' games team focuses on delivering higher engagement on our existing and successful games.

Voodoo is creating a new Studio with a big mission: find the next best way to entertain the world by taking our best hits to a new level. You will join a small team that is growing, composed of veterans from the industry, where you will participate in every aspect of development.

The Studio is working on refreshing and expanding one of our top legacy games. This game has already achieved great success, and we're eager to build on that momentum to (i) deploy learnings to more portfolio games and (ii) obtain a moonshot outcome; Paper.io http://Paper.io & Hole.io http://Hole.io are good such past examples.
