There were dozens of online Catan games before us. We entered the field, focused intensely on a single game and built the best online Catan alternative ever created. We will do the same with other board games.

Our goal is to become the Apple of this field, by crafting extremely polished digital board games.

The most flexible game company, ever

We are a modern day gaming guild that is fully remote and asynchronous. We believe in enabling each member of our guild to do their best work.

To help each guild member make great decisions, we provide:

Unbeatable Flexibility

Work from anywhere in the world and choose your own hours. No pointless meetings, just pure productivity.

Impactful Work

Your work ships fast. 100K+ players will interact with your work within days of an update.

Transparency

Our guild has access to all our metrics, roadmap and discussions. You’ll be able to make informed decisions with having access to everything you need.

Ownership

You will own a piece of Colonist. We’ll battle side by side and divide the spoils as one.

Growth

At Colonist, growth means pushing your limits and embracing challenges. We expect you to take initiative, seek out opportunities, and drive your own development. While the journey is yours, we’ll ensure you have the support and resources to succeed.

Why Join?

You share our vision that the world needs a digital board game platform with extremely polished games that are social, competitive and fun.

We look for people who are:

Self-motivated

We're output-driven. We're not a fit if you need constant guidance and nudging.

Passionate

About gaming, product improvement, and continuous learning. We're not a fit if you just want a job.

Adaptable

Comfortable with uncertainty and asserting yourself. We're not a fit if you prefer rigid structures.

Communicative

Strong async communication skills are crucial. We're not a fit if you need constant face-to-face interaction.
