In the last several years powerful and flexible game platforms have changed the nature of game development. There are teams all over the world telling their stories and building their games who couldn’t have done so a decade ago. Successful and established companies are allowing small, talented teams to tackle new and unproven ideas, confident that they can turn concept into reality without risking the team’s future. It’s an amazing time of imagination, experimentation, and empowerment...unless the experience you’re trying to build is connected in any way.

Communication edge cases, hosting complexity, deployment headaches, security you didn’t know you needed until it was too late, unpredictable hosting costs, forum posts complaining about downtime before you knew anything about it, overloaded servers one day, too many servers the next, the list goes on and on. Great experiences failing for one avoidable reason or another.

We’re building a team in Bellevue to change that pattern, and the entire lifecycle of connected experiences. Conception, evaluation, prototype, development, testing, shipping, maintaining, expanding, and sunset. We’re developing patterns, development tools, runtime features, services, deployment, monitoring, and hosting solutions. The good news is these are almost entirely solved problems. Every successful connected product has had to solve them. The hard part is how to make these accepted solutions available to people who’ve never had to use a service, and ensure the choices they’re making are the right ones by default. It’s an enormous job, which is why we need you.
