Napalm Jobs
Here's the deal...
We are always on the lookout to find new talented individuals to join the Napalm team. We offer a creative and fun environment full of people who simply worship games and have endless stories to prove it. One of the passions of Napalm Riot™ is to acquire persons with potential and a thirst for knowledge and understanding. We therefore cater to an atmosphere where learning from each other, and sharing in team discoveries is a daily affair.

Aptitude is the magic word around here. We like to think that someone who is willing to put forth whatever it takes to complete a project, is more valuable than someone with a degree. Our team is made up of members who have learned what they know from the trenches, on the front line.

And a strong obsession for gaming, of course! :)

Therefore, even if you do not fit one of the positions listed below, go ahead and send us your resumé, we may find a place for you, and if not, we’ll keep your resume for when we do. All resumes should be sent to wannabe@napalmriot.com.

Just so we are clear,
Napalm currently is paying team members in stock, as we have not yet closed our seed round of funding. After the first funding round is closed, most team members will move to a paid salary.
