About Colonist

We're building the biggest digital board game platform on the internet. Last year, our players spent 2,466 years playing 45 million games on our Settlers of Catan alternative. We're a fully remote, asynchronous team spread across multiple continents, focused on crafting extremely polished digital board games that people truly love.

What We're Looking For

Individuals with an unstoppable mentality who can thrive in a fast-paced environment. Working here won't be easy, it's not a 9-5 role in a big company. It comes with a lot of hard work. But with that, comes more impact, learnings, and growth than anywhere else. We want people who aren't just looking for another job but are excited about building something new, increasing their skills and taking on bigger projects. There will be 100 things to do at any point and you'll need to prioritize actions that will move the needle. As a Colonist you should:

  • Be a logical and independent problem solver
  • A team player - you are adaptable, proactive and highly responsive
  • A gamer with strong judgment
  • Be relentless, driven & hands-on - you get things done despite limited resources or circumstances going against you

Our Values at Colonist

We strongly adhere to these values in our team - if these resonate, then you’ll love working here! Dependability We're self-driven players who deliver without needing supervision. When we commit to something, we make it happen. Ownership We take full responsibility and go beyond our roles to improve Colonist. Each of us acts like we own the company, because through our stock options, we do. Clear Communication In our remote environment, written communication is key. We're direct, structured, and always keep our team in the loop. Efficient Execution We move fast and focus on impact. Instead of getting stuck on perfect solutions, we find practical ways forward and get things done. Continuous Learning We're curious problem solvers who love a challenge. We constantly seek new ideas, embrace feedback, and aren't afraid to change our minds when we're wrong.
