Job Description
Want to be a part of a continued legacy in RTS gaming? At Relic Entertainment we develop original IP and build on our history of award winning games – games like Homeworld and Dawn of War. Experience freedom of creativity and know your contribution is valued and recognized – by the Relic team, and also by gamers and industry experts around the globe. Life outside of Relic?? You bet. We know, it’s a novel idea, but one we not only embrace, we enforce. If you are going to live in Vancouver, you better have time away from work to take advantage of all this city has to offer. Vancouver is consistently ranked in the top most livable cities. Where else can you get up and choose between beach volleyball, or boarding the glacier, all within 90 minutes?
We’ve got mountains. We’ve got ocean. We’ve got a chill studio in the heart of downtown. And…We’ve got donuts every Friday. What more could you ask for?
