Permanent full-time on-site in Wellington, NZ – 32 hours per week – $81,000- $97,500 based on experience.

We're Dinosaur Polo Club, an award-winning video game studio of thirty lovely people making games in Te Whanganui-a-Tara Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand. Mini Metro and Mini Motorways are our released games, and we continue to support them. We are also working on new games which are at various stages of development. We’re looking for an intermediate programmer, or a junior programmer ready to step up to join our team to work on one of these games.

At Dinosaur Polo Club we value a healthy work-life balance where our Dinos can flourish both inside and outside of the studio. We have a creative team, opportunities for growth, and a wholesome, supportive studio environment.

We value diversity and believe that our team should be as varied and wonderful as the people who play our games all around the world. Differences such as disabilities, gender identity, sexual orientation, ethnicity and any other aspects of various cultures and identities are important perspectives that contribute to an inclusive, well-rounded, and engaging work environment. We know we’re creating better games when we have varied perspectives and experiences contributing to them. Women, LGBTQ+ community, Māori and Pasifika – we want to hear from you!

• Provide feedback on the studio’s workflow, tools, and technical direction.
• Share knowledge with other team members.
