- Fluency with modern AI development tools, and a clear point of view on how they change the way teams build, hire, and measure impact.
- A proven ability to hire, develop, and retain strong engineering talent. Increasingly, that means hiring for judgment, product sense, and verification skills, not raw output.

- Experience managing delivery across multiple products or initiatives simultaneously.
- Comfortable with ambiguity and able to make decisions with incomplete information.

Business Development Manager
Gamebreaking StudiosHelping build world-class online games. Co-development, work-for-hire, and game build pipelines (www.bespokeci.dev)
Role Description Gamebreaking Studios is looking for our first hire in Business Development. We believe former founders or ambitious business development/sales professionals are well-suited to this role, but are open to any folks with a strong network in games and a history of bringing in business. We want somebody ambitious enough to help us evolve from the pipeline that got us to 30 employees, to the one that will get us to 50 employees and beyond. We need somebody organized enough to take us from the founder-only BD/sales pipeline we have today, to a pipeline owned and operated by you, that our leadership team works within. We're looking for somebody disciplined enough to take the hard road to building that pipeline sustainably with us. As a Business Development Manager at Gamebreaking Studios, you will: - Lead our effort to build and strengthen business relationships that will culminate in signed deals for our 3 lines of business: co-development projects, full game funding (in 3rd-party IP), and tools sales. - Be in charge of the pipeline that our founders, directors, and managers operate within to close deals and manage customers. - Have a particular focus on growing our network of AAA studios and publishers. Gamebreaking believes that if we build relationships, the business will come. We focus on: - Building relationships over closing one deal. - Satisfying people instead of pieces of paper. - Knowing the biggest deal is not the one you're negotiating today, but the one they'll offer you next. Gamebreaking is 100% employee-owned. We grew from nothing to a stable, prospering company with no outside investors. That means we work differently, and we like it that way. Employees own more, have more of a say, and are more responsible for our team's success. It also means that sometimes we have to take the long way around, but we're thinking big and bold, not fast or cheap. Expect to level up not just your individual craft skills but also your ability to operate teams and understand the inner workings of a business in games. We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the skills listed here. We understand that your qualifications may shine through in different ways and can be based on unique perspectives and experiences. Gamebreaking Studios is an Equal Opportunity Employer.

Benefits - Encourage healthy working hours, PTO, and a respect for your time. - Foster an environment of equal opportunity, treatment, and inclusion. - Create a fun and playful environment that remains professional and respectful. - Grow our culture positively and meaningfully through a high level of transparency and thoughtful conversation. - Provide opportunities for you to learn and grow. Potential Roles and Growth Paths - Business Development Director — Hire, manage, and mentor a small group of Business developers. - Head of Business Development — Hire, manage, and mentor a small group of Business developers. - DIY — A small company means big opportunities if you're willing to forge your path, and we're here to support you! Location & Work From Home While Gamebreaking Studios as a whole is a fully remote, work-from-home environment, this position is only available to those living and working in the Greater San Francisco Bay area. Day-to-day, you will be working from home, but our leadership team believes deeply in events and in-person relationship building and is specifically looking for coverage in this region. As such, you will be expected to be able to regularly attend smaller functions in and around the Bay Area on short notice without incurring flight expenses.

That is to say, while we are not a "serious games" company, we believe that making fun-first games enables us to have a positive impact. We believe deeply in our core values and hope to find people who share them: - Take Responsibility - Raise The Tide, Not One Boat - Ambitious Goals, Disciplined Execution - Design For People, Own Your Craft - We Play Together
