Metatheory Inc. is a technology-driven entertainment company building Web3 games, interactive multi-platform stories, and virtual world experiences imagined across innovative collective story franchise IPs. We are a remote-first dynamic team of builders, developers, and entrepreneurs that include key founding members from Twitch, as well as Emmy and Peabody Award winning producers and storytellers.

Our flagship IP is DuskBreakers, an eccentric, interactive sci-fi saga set in a post-apocalyptic world where a mysterious alien ship (The Dusk) becomes a beacon of hope for humanity. The franchise spans games, video, NFTs, and other media formats.

We are currently seeking a highly motivated associate to join our business operations team. The ideal candidate is a thoughtful, organized, and detail-oriented individual who is passionate about games and broader Web3 adoption. You will be scoping out and executing key initiatives across the business, both helping to solve internal operational problems, while also conducting R&D – digging into market developments, external business models, and commercial opportunities that may be impactful to Metatheory. You will help us achieve our business growth goals from strategy through execution.

Flexibility, autonomy and the ability to work in a fast paced and remote environment are required, but we pair that with a great team and a fun atmosphere with a love of gaming. We are trying to do something unique and be good thought leaders in the Web3 gaming space. If you have a desire to have real impact in a startup environment and feel comfortable doing whatever it takes to get awesome products to customers, we’d love to explore that with you!
