Join to apply for the Engineering Generalist role at Blind Squirrel Games

Blind Squirrel Games (BSG) is a proud, independent studio that joins forces with developers and publishers seeking an innovative partner in creating quality games. At BSG, people are our purpose, so we prioritize an inquisitive, proactive, and collaborative work environment for all our squirrels. We currently have studio locations in Irvine, California; Austin, Texas; Auckland, New Zealand, and a new campus in Manizales, Colombia!
