Job Description

JOIN THE CARBONATED TEAM!

Carbonated is a passionate game studio founded in 2015 by industry veterans from companies like EA, Sony and Zynga, and we're proud to be backed by top partners such as a16z, Bitkraft and Com2Us. 

Our culture is centered around a love for playing and creating games, and a drive to constantly experiment and innovate. At Carbonated, we work hard to build something we can all be proud of, with the goal of creating a company where people want to spend their entire careers. We're looking for individuals who share our key values:

• Talent (You're a subject matter expert and an outstanding individual contributor!)
• Attitude (You're a winner, and you're willing to put in the work to make it happen!)
• Fearless curiosity (You're not afraid to try new and exciting things so we can create something truly amazing!)

We're excited to be working on our dream game, MadWorld, a revolutionary real-time global PvP battler blending web2 and web3 gameplay (think The Division meets Eve Online, with a few twists) as well as a few other secret projects.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Be part of the leadership team, driving the processes to execute the product strategy
• Be responsible for making sure our game and features ship successfully, on time and at high quality
• Drive development, smashing through obstacles and help improve the game at every stage of production
• Help the team breakdown complex problems into clearly understood, actionable tasks
• Manage the road map and execution plan: priorities, commitments, backlog, matching work to capacity, optimizing slower development loops, and highlighting risks
• Track the project schedule and help move the team from one project phase to the next while ensuring effective collaboration and communication
• Define engagement practices: ensure the workflow is clearly defined, processes are documented, specifications are locked down, and scope is identified
• Ensure the team places a high value on delivering a high quality product by aligning the team’s tasks and priorities with the company's current strategies and business goals

WHO YOU ARE

• 5+ years in software development, with 3+ years each in project management, operations, and leadership, preferably in gaming
• Proven expertise in Agile/Scrum methodologies, production life cycles, tools, and project planning
• Strong mediation, negotiation, and cross-disciplinary collaboration skills to navigate complex requirements
• Obsessed with translating team health and product direction into actionable outcomes, with a passion for creative risks and clever problem-solving
• Calm under pressure, positive, and collaborative, thriving in team settings while boldly advocating for ideas
• Excellent communicator with a sense of humor, not afraid to speak up or take charge
• Enthusiastic gamer who enjoys playing games and understands their impact on player experiences

BONUS POINTS

• Experience working on a small, fast-paced team
• Participation in open-source blockchain initiatives is a huge plus
• Experience with Agile/Scrum development
• A willingness to roll up your sleeves and go above and beyond to create something truly special
• A sense of humor (we love dad jokes!)
