Internal Application: Senior Software Engineer III

We are Pixelberry Studios: a top mobile games developer, creating fun and engaging games with heart for over nine years. Yes, we’re a division of Nexon (one of the largest gaming companies in the world) and our studio is proud to have never launched a game which did not land in both App Store and Google Play Top 25 Grossing charts. We would like to invite you to join us in the adventure that will become our shared future.

We've seen firsthand the positive impact that games can make. Because of that, we leverage our commercial success to make a real difference: we have partnered with numerous non-profits, saved actual lives with our games, and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to charities. Players love our games’ focus on racial, gender, sexual, and identity diversity while holding us accountable when they expect more.

Some of us have worked together for over 10 years through multiple companies. As a result, we strive to create long-term relationships that help sustain our success. We continue to add new individuals who aren’t just searching for another stepping stone, but a place to put down roots. We love what we do and are looking for people who want to grow, learn, inspire, mentor, and make an impact.
