Benefits
Interested ... a bit about Escape Velocity:
Escape Velocity is a team of passionate, talented developers working at a studio that offers excellent benefits and what we believe is a fantastic project. But that doesn't make us unique. What does make us special? We value the time, energy, and talent of our players
and our colleagues. We want every hour spent developing and playing our games to be an incredibly rewarding and worthwhile use of
your time. To that end, we are fully remote and support team members nearly anywhere in the world. We prioritize honesty, even when that means sharing bad news. We strive to give everyone autonomy so they can determine how best to work and play; and we care more about what you bring to the game and studio than how many hours you're clocking. We believe in constant improvement across all areas - from the game itself to our production design - and are constantly re-evaluating how we spend our time to ensure that we're not wasting yours and we're all always working on the most important things. Finally (and perhaps most importantly) we're dedicated to building a culture of play, which not only makes us better game makers, but also strengthens the bonds between us all.
