LIFE AT HEART MACHINE

Founded in 2013, Heart Machine is an LA based studio that over the last decade has grown and welcomed team members from all across the globe. Our studio is a warm place with wildly talented and creative people, a strong voice, and unique style. Being a close knit team this provides a space for more personal input from each individual on our projects with extensive opportunity to grow personally and with us as a company.

OTHER ROLES

Interested in working with Heart Machine but don't see an open role that aligns with your skills? No worries! Go ahead and send us your resume/ portfolio and we will be sure to reach out when we are hiring for your discipline in the future.

BENEFITS & WELLBEING

Although we are all passionate and work incredibly hard, our studio is not a crunch-factory - we like to live our lives, have holidays, and remain healthy throughout a project. It is of the utmost importance to us here at Heart Machine that our team feel safe and secure, mentally and physically.

To that end, we offer flexibility in work location: you can be permanently remote, work full-time in our LA-based studio, or come in when you wish. We trust you to do whatever you feel would be most comfortable and productive.

We offer a wide variety of health benefits (and continue to add more!) including:

  • Medical

  • Dental

  • 401k

  • Flex PTO

  • Additional benefits with our PEO, such as: TalkSpace and Health Advocate

DIVERSITY INITIATIVE

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where all voices are heard and respected, and folks from underrepresented groups have a place to share their passion and creativity. We believe welcoming different life perspectives is crucial to building better games, scaling our studio sustainably, and improving our understanding of one another.
