Jobs @ CubeCraft

Responsibilities
How to apply
When submitting your application please include a covering letter detailing any relevant experience, reasons for your application, and anything else you feel we should know about your application, along with your CV. These should be emailed to [email protected]. The subject of your email should be in this format:

As a brief note, we do try to reply to all reasonable applications that we receive but from time to time we don’t get the chance. Any replies aim to be sent within 2 weeks of us receiving an application.
We want to hire great people, not just those with skills in applying for jobs! If you are worried about how to put together a CV or covering letter - try your best and we'll get back in touch with some written questions necessary or alternatively we'll provide advice and guidance on how best to format an application.
What do you mean in-office?
I imagine we are one of the only hiring posts here offering positions within an office.
We have a friendly and fun office based in Bury, Greater Manchester, United Kingdom where you could be working from. We understand that working remotely isn't for everyone and also that working from an office isn't for everyone - we work to find the best solution for both us and you.
What do you mean by part-time or full time?
By part-time we generally mean around 15-25 hours a week - great if you’re at uni!
By full-time we generally mean around 35-40 hours a week.
Due to the nature of the gaming industry and product release cycles, there could be weeks with far fewer hours and weeks with far more however we try to provide consistency wherever possible.
Other roles available
We are also looking to expand our other teams. You may be interested in the following roles:
