Please note: Research has shown that some under-represented groups in the gaming industry (eg: women) tend to apply only if they meet every single requirement. Here at Wooga, the desire to learn and the willingness to solve problems are more important to us than your experience on paper. We encourage you to apply even if you do not think that you tick all the boxes – thinking outside of such boxes and embracing the diversity of mindsets and backgrounds is what we believe makes our teams thrive.
