Senior Game Designer

We are GoSpooky. An incredibly fast-moving bunch of unconventional storytellers, social media superstars, and slam-dunking creatives. We know all things internet culture and create scroll-stopping content people actually want to share. One thing we all have in common: we're always on the lookout for attention. At GoSpooky, we believe in being authentic, bold, and creative—it's the essence of who we are. We're on the lookout for like-minded talent who share these values and thrive on pushing boundaries by shaking up social media. We need people who aren't afraid to experiment, think outside the box, and embrace challenges with enthusiasm. If you're someone who spots an opportunity in the morning and brings it to life by the afternoon, we'd love to hear from you.
