Will definitely say that I’m attracted to this position more for the office style, “real job” experience. I mean, who wouldn’t want to get paid to do the thing they love? I mean heck, I’d do this job for less than the 5k a month offered, honestly.

I think this is a really cool job. I mean the fact that,if you get accepted, that is, you get to come together and work with people you’ve never met but have been working on the same platform as you for years would be an amazing experience.

Quick question, what type of work quality are you all looking for? Are there any previous portfolios of people who got accepted that we’re able to look at so that we could compare our work? Thanks for reading.
I’m kinda just all ears for what it may be…
Regarding acceptee’s, unknown to me.

Aaa it’s killing me, I just want to know!!
I’d really rather not have people trying to copy successful applications. Here’s a screenshot of our developer discord right now, so you can get a feel of where our bar is. (This includes both remote and on-site people)
That being said, not meeting the bar isn’t the only reason we might pass you over. Sometimes we’re just not looking for a specific skillset at the moment and we come back with an offer at a later point. Sometimes a person’s reputation affects their application (either good or bad). And sometimes we think people simply wouldn’t be a good fit for the office culture.
For all of you looking for a checklist with specific requirements, we can’t give you one because we don’t have one. The only hard requirements are being 18+ and good at your job. Beyond that, we consider everything we can find about an applicant to determine if they’d be a good fit for the company, the games, and the office. If you really want to maximize your chances you need to sell yourself to us. Find a creative way to show us that you’re worth our time and money.
Now that I think about it, maybe it would be helpful to see a quick flowchart of our hiring process
- Applicant sends an application
- If it grabs our attention we do more research to gauge their skills and how good of a fit they’d be
- If they look like a good fit and they have a good track record, we determine if we have a position for them
- If we have a position for them, we make them an offer
- When we reach an agreement we sign contracts and begin onboarding them

May i apply at the age of 17 with parental consent?
Only asking this for the following reasons:
- On path to graduate this school year.
- Seems like a great opportunity.
No, 18+ is not negotiable.
I am curious about something in the application process. For when you go to apply at a nearby business, you get interviewed so they know more about you and have their interview questions.
How is that conveyed through a job process like this? Is there some kind of, video-call related interview?
It just doesn’t make sense to me if the other side is only getting a piece of the whole pie if they base off of an application and some other things.
We do whatever interview process feels appropriate for the candidate. The whole process is very tuned to the individual.
This seems interesting, but my only slight worry is job security.
This studio could go bankrupt much more easily than other big companies with deep pockets and hundreds of revenue sources.
If anyone plans on doing this, I would recommend getting your college degree first or at least start school while your doing this, like a community college of some sort with online classes or evening classes.
No company can promise you eternal job security, but especially more so with new companies. If you don’t have some kind of degree, it will be near impossible to get a job related to your field even if you have job experience in the future, especially if your a STEM major. If, God forbid, RedManta or a similar company were to go bankrupt, you may not be able to find a job with the same income amount as you have no degree. Most companies hiring procedure is to remove applicants that don’t have a degree before even looking at the application. (BTW, I know this as one of my employers have told me personally.)
Basically, have a backup plan incase something like this doesn’t work out, God forbid of course.
That’s my two cents. I might be completely wrong, but eh.
On a more happy note…
I hope you guys have great success with RedManta!

This is the way any startup is. You can work for a huge company where you exist as a number and have little to no future, forever. Or you can find a startup, where you move up quickly and make lots of money while helping build something awesome.
Anyone with any amount of life experience will tell you to take risks when you’re young and have no responsibilities. As you get older and take on more life responsibilities (like a house or a family) it becomes a bad idea to take on a job with low stability.
Alex and I know this better than anyone. We’ve built our lives around this company and we’ve invested far more than anyone. Nothing is up to chance, it’s about what you do with the options you’re given. We’ve been given great options and a great opportunity, and by reading this post you have been too. The door to your future is wide open. You can either make something happen or you can sit and wait while someone else takes the opportunity.

I forgot one of our biggest powerups, being young without much responsibility. I was thinking way ahead when you already have responsibilities like family.
I do not agree with this, as this is not always the case as long as you try and do something about it. Big companies are extremely open to change and want it’s employees to succeed. But you are correct that this is mostly the case with people who work in big companies. They get into a company and then don’t do anything but do as they are told, mainly because they are lazy or do not have big aspirations.
(EDIT: I’m more talking about big tech companies, not too sure about other companies.)
I’m very inspired by how you guys started your own company and doing what you enjoy. I hope you guys continue to do so! That’s how big million or billion dollar corporations start after all.
Making something happen also depends on acceptance into that something. The one who also takes the opportunity might get in but the other may not and they crash and burn. At that point they have to build themselves back up and try again, but that opportunity changes or disappears…
I’m interested in knowing what the work environment is like. One of the main reasons this job sparks my interest is not just because I’m being paid to do something I actually like, but also the office setting it gives off.
