Company mission
To create incredible shared gaming moments.
27% employee growth in 12 months
Our take
Mobile gaming has exploded since the creation of the iPhone. The segment now attracts more players worldwide than PC or Console gaming and is rivalling both of those segments for spend / game. A major part of that growth has been the increasing sophistication of gaming experiences on the small screen.
Super Evil Megacorp is one developer that is focused on delivering triple-A gaming experiences on smartphones. Crucially, it does not focus on any one operating system, but develops approaches to controls, technology, and systems that allow its games to rapidly extend its mobile-first designs to any platform.
The developer is now focused on increasing the player-base for its latest title, Catalyst Black which has received rave reviews. Upcoming titles include a collaboration with film director Zak Snyder on a tie-in game for his December 2023 Netflix release Rebel Moon. By continuing to focus on refining the player experience while onboarding players from different platforms, Super Evil Megacorp believes it can win more market share.
The challenge for any game developer however isn’t making a success out of any single hit piece of content. Instead, long-term success involves nurturing a team and a culture that continues to produce outstanding games. The evidence suggests that Super Evil Megacorp has all the right ingredients.

Benefits
- FLEX WORKING SCHEDULE - Life doesn't always fit into the traditional 9 to 5 workday. We understand this and encourage our people to flex their schedule to accommodate things like getting kids to practice or caring for a loved one. Make your work life balance work for you.
- UNLIMITED TIME OFF - We offer unlimited time off to all of our people regardless of tenure or position. This gives our team members the freedom to spend quality time with friends and family so they can relax, recuperate, and recharge. We also organize studiowide time-off after major milestones.
- PARENTAL LEAVE SUPPORT - At SEMC, families always come first. We make sure to provide parental leave support for both parents so that they can focus on what matters most. Our flexible approach to working schedule and time off means you can have a parental support plan that works.
- US ONLY: HEALTHCARE +401K - We offer industry leading healthcare options including medical, dental, and vision coverage. We also offer a 401k program with a company match for employees in the United States. For our non-US team we ensure your package is weighted to cover all the healthcare and welfare benefits you need.
- LOCAL HANGOUTS - Being remote does not mean zero human contact! We actively support local hub lunches and get togethers. So far we have planned meet-ups for our team members in LA, San Francisco, Sao Paulo, London, Lisbon, and Barcelona. As we continue to grow, we will work towards supporting our Super Evil community connections.
- REMOTE WORK HANDBOOK - Working in a full, global remote organization is more than a set of rules. It is a mindset and way of working that should truly empower our team. We constantly work to update our approach through active listening.
- EQUITY OPTIONS - Everyone at SEMC is an owner of not only their work, but the company as well. In addition to the competitive salaries we offer, we also provide stock options to every existing and new hire, ensuring that everyone at SEMC is a shareholder and benefits from our shared success.
Company values

- We use our presence tools and attend our global standups, all-hands, town halls and social meets to help us share synchronous moments and build strong human connections with each other.
- We always over-document & over-communicate everything in writing in the right place.
- We are inquisitive and ask questions regardless of our area of expertise. We foster collective learning and improvement with a “see it, say it” mindset.
