Game Dev Jobs is a curated job board that connects game developers with top studios by aggregating and filtering game development positions worldwide, offering a privacy-focused alternative to mainstream platforms.
What is Game Dev Jobs?
Game Dev Jobs is a web-based job board that takes game development job listings from studios like Roblox, Riot Games, Apple, and Google and produces a curated feed and a weekly email newsletter of hand-picked roles. The platform is built specifically for the people who ship the games we love — programmers, designers, engineers, and technical artists — and emphasizes salary transparency and privacy over algorithmic feeds.
Key Features
- Curated job feed — Each job listing is reviewed and featured; the home page shows a rotating set of "Today's featured jobs" with company logos, salary ranges (when reported), and required skills like Kubernetes, GPU architecture, or game balancing.
- Weekly email newsletter — Subscribers receive a hand-picked shortlist of this week's best game development roles plus information on who's hiring and what they're paying. Free to join, one email per week.
- Privacy-first job search — No public "open to work" badge, no LinkedIn Recruiter exposure, and no profile changes. Your search remains private; recruiters can request a connection but you control whether to respond.
- Salary transparency — Many listings display annual salary ranges (e.g., $243k–$295k for Senior Software Engineer at Roblox) so you can evaluate roles before applying.
- Focused scope — Only game development jobs are listed, filtering out unrelated positions from general job boards. The tagline: "Game dev jobs where craft gets paid, not exploited."
- Direct application — Each job has a "View details" link leading to the original posting, avoiding the volume-based "Easy Apply" system that attracts thousands of applicants.
Who is it for?
- Game programmers and engineers — Search for roles like senior software engineer (service mesh), graphics performance modeling engineer, or staff machine learning engineer at companies such as Roblox, Apple, and Riot Games.
- Game designers — Find positions like Lead Game Designer (Puzzle) at Ant-Tech or Senior Game Designer (Balance - Wild Rift) at Riot Games, with clear salary and location details.
- Technical artists and graphics specialists — Access openings for Software Engineer III (Pixel Graphics) at Google and other GPU-related roles that require C++, low-level graphics APIs, and embedded systems experience.
