Become a Stupengineer

We're looking for people with serious talent and deeply unserious energy.

Stupendium Softworks is growing, and our first projects are rapidly taking shape. We need the right kind of people to help us push things further.

We make games that reward you for paying attention. Worlds that encourage curiosity. Stories with the emotional tone of a multi-looping rollercoaster.

If you enjoy building deep, strange worlds, hiding secrets, and adding details most players won't find… you'll fit right in.

Note: Stupendium Softworks is currently only able to offer freelance contract work, not full-time contracts.

How to become one of us

At Stupendium Softworks, we're currently only hiring freelancers.
We're really not interested in cover letters that sound like they were written by ChatGPT or CVs padded with every buzzword you could find on LinkedIn. We want to see your work, feel your humour, understand your process, and get a sense of whether you'd thrive in our particular brand of organized chaos. If you can survive a game of Peak or Guilty As Sock with us, we're gonna get along just fine.

What to Include

  • CV/Cover Letter: Standard stuff, but make it lovely. Show off a bit here!
  • Portfolio/GitHub: Show us what you've built, not what you've managed
  • Specific examples: Tell us about a problem you solved and how you solved it
  • Questions: Ask us something about the role, the project, or the studio
  • Personality: Kindly, no AI. We work closely together. Let us know who you are!
  • Day Rate: No artists die of "exposure" here

Remote Work Policy

The sun never sets on Stupendium Softworks, we have staff on both coasts of the US, Europe and all over the world! You're a freelancer, so we value results over hours logged, but we do need overlap time for collaboration and the occasional heated debate about implementation details.

What We Offer

  • Pay based on experience and location
  • We care about your work/life balance, don't crunch
  • The chance to work on something genuinely unique with people who care about creativity
