Madbox is a fast-growing mobile gaming company with a very unique way of developing games. Everything has been made for teams to take as much ownership as possible, unleash their creativity, bring performance, and have as much fun as possible.

We're excited to open a brand-new studio in Annecy, a beautiful city nestled in the French Alps, perfect for fostering creativity. As part of Madbox, our Annecy studio is built on the same foundational pillars as our other game studios: creativity, collaboration, and innovation. We're seeking passionate mobile game enthusiasts to join our core team, where you'll have significant ownership and a huge impact on shaping our projects. You'll collaborate with former members of the team behind Pocket Champs, our first casual hit, helping to build something extraordinary from the ground up.

At Madbox, our core belief is that great team chemistry and a vibrant creative environment lead to exceptional games. These values drive our commitment to developing mobile games that are casual, unique, accessible, and inclusive, ensuring that every project embodies the spirit of our studio pillars.
