Careers at Tango Gameworks
Below are the positions for which we are currently accepting applications.
Each position has its own unique requirements, so please refer to the individual postings for the necessary materials to send.
Working at Tango Gameworks
Communication and Teamwork
Even with direction, a game isn’t made by a single person. We strive for a workplace with free and open communication. Whether it’s questioning if something is working, or suggesting a new idea, it’s all about the end goal of creating “the best game we can make.”
We like to talk about our projects honestly and give feedback in a constructive and encouraging manner regardless of your section.
To enable an environment where communication isn’t hindered, our office is a fully Japanese environment, and all employees are expected to perform their work in Japanese.
*Business-level Japanese at a minimum level (JLPT N2 equivalent) is required*
A Hybrid Workspace
To create a balance of collaboration and focus time, Tango Gameworks operates on a hybrid system, providing a working environment at home and in our office.
But from experience we know how much of our creativity and teamwork comes from face-to-face interaction; whether it be strengthening communication, or spontaneity of ideation. Therefore, depending on the stage of project development, for specific meetings or educational opportunities, we do ask employees to come to the office at regular intervals with advance notice given.
At this time, we are not considering applicants that work fully remote.
