Fox Cub Games is leading development of a new wave of casual games – messenger games. The Facebook Canvas games and Mobile Games have been two waves. Messenger games are a rising third wave and we’re right at the start of that. The current tension between Facebook and Apple is symptomatic of a shift in game distribution, and all the messenger platforms are looking to move in. Our leadership team is experienced with both the viral growth (founding product managers at Zynga) and high ARPU monetization games (extensive casino game experience). We are also well connected with the top messenger platforms and are able to get access to unreleased features and distribution channels.
Our company operates entirely in the cloud, there is no physical office and no nationality boundaries. Everyone works from the comfort of their home.

We are investing heavily in infrastructure and tools to create the foundation for many games to come.
The development process is very collaborative. You will have a strong voice in deciding what we do, including gameplay and design. Our culture is very open and transparent. We work hard to empowered everyone to make decisions and affect change.
The Role:
Help write code for all aspects of a brand new game. We have wireframe, mockups, functional specs, and tuning for the game.
Help us write our new generation of game engine for rapid development of high performance web/mobile games.
