JOBS AT SPIRAL

Guidelines

When applying for a job at Spiral House, please follow the instructions below.

​

NOTE: We do not accept unsolicited résumés from agencies sent via snail mail or email, unless previously agreed. They will be ignored and most probably tagged as spam and then deleted, so please do not send them.

​

We do not have any internship positions at the present time. If this should change, we will remove this notice.

 

However, we are always on the look out for talented, enthusiastic people to join our team, so if you believe you possess those special qualities that are required for making games, then we would like to hear from you. If you're a graduate wishing to get into the games industry, then we welcome you also.

​

Submission Guidelines:

First, please read the job description under 'current vacancies' below for more information on a particular role before applying and follow these instructions...

​

• Provide a cover letter (separate or email body) explaining why, if you're a graduate, you want to work in the games industry, and / or why you want to work at Spiral House.

• Include your CV / résumé in either MS word or PDF format, typed in a clear, standard font style.

• If you're a programmer, we want to see your programming ability and potential with a compiled demo, either sent to us on a disc or accessible online.

• If you're an artist, please provide examples of your artwork that can be viewed online (ArtStation for example), or sent in JPG format. If you wish to present animations as movies, please do not attach them to an email, please present them so we can view them on-line.

• If you're a composer, please do not send us your music (we receive so many). We already use composers that have been working with us for many years and if that should change, we will come and find you.

• We are a UK based company, therefore all non-UK applicants will require a work permit before applying. Information on work permits can be found on the home office web site here.

• Send your CV / résumé via email by clicking here.

 

We do receive a lot of applicants and we do not have the capacity to read and reply to all of them, especially if we're not in a recruitment window. Therefore, if you do not hear from us within two weeks, please assume you were unsuccessful and we're not looking for anybody with your skills at the current time. We will keep you on file and contact you in the future if that should change.

Thank you for visiting our web-site and for considering Spiral House.
