ABOUT US

Mountaintop is a new game studio creating multiplayer games for players who crave a challenge. We’re an independent, remote-first studio primarily located in the US and Canada.

We’re creating the types of games that bring people together — and keep them together for “just one more round.” The types of games that inspired us as kids. The games that become our hobbies, and sometimes our obsessions.

Games are a reflection of the teams that make them. So to make the best games, we’re building a studio that puts the team first — one that’s collaborative, anti-crunch, diverse, and inclusive.

We’d love for you to join us.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a UI Engineer passionate about implementing and maintaining user interfaces for various game features. UI Engineers are crucial to creating intuitive, visually stunning, and responsive user interfaces that enhance the player experience. You’ll play a crucial role in bringing our first title to life.
