Not sure where you fit? That might be exactly why we need you. We’re looking for people who want to build the future – and not just within the lines of a traditional job description. Maybe you're a technologist who’s also a designer. A founder who still loves to code. A creative who sees systems, or an engineer who speaks brand. Maybe you’ve built games, startups, open-source tools, or just obsessive side projects that never let you sleep. Whatever shape your background takes, if you’re at the top of your craft and this mission sparks something in you, we want to hear from you. We believe in autonomy, ownership, and creative environments that unlock deep work. We’ve built from the Alps, Mykonos, and LA—with product sprints that feel more like creative residencies. We care more about taste and trajectory than perfect titles or pedigrees. If you don’t see your perfect role listed but know you have something exceptional to contribute, reach out. Tell us what you’ve built, what you care about, and what you'd love to do here. We design roles around people, not the other way around. ## About Spawn ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Spawn is an AI-native multiplayer game creation platform where users describe games in natural language and an AI companion named Savi builds them in real time, ready for instant publication and play. - **Entity Type**: Private (Early-stage startup) - **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Not publicly available ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Gaming / Game Development Tools / AI-powered Creation - **Target customers**: Game creators of all skill levels (B2C); also players who become creators - **Mission**: To make multiplayer game creation as simple as having a conversation, removing all technical barriers. ## Products & Services - **Spawn Platform**: A multiplayer-first game engine and publishing platform where users build entire games by talking to Savi.
