    Additional Information

    Working mode

  • For selected roles, remote work from within Europe may be considered.
  • Relocation Support

  • Relocation package – flight ticket, company apartment for your first month, relocating your pet, shipping your belongings — it’s all covered.
  • Relocation assistance — processing your legalization operations for you, assistance with finding residence, tax settlements — all you need to feel right at home is taken care of.
  • Polish lessons for foreign employees — and for your spouse or partner, too.
  • Life insurance — comprehensive pension and insurance plans to protect you and your loved ones.
  • Annual budget for medical expenses (for those working outside Poland).
  • Psychological and psychiatrist care — free mental health support and various well-being webinars.
  • Paid Leave — from 20 to 26 days of holiday for every team member per year, and paid sick leave.
  • Menstrual Leave — employees who menstruate can take one extra day off each month when experiencing period pain.
  • RED Parents Network — support for working parents, including childcare benefits, and family-friendly events.
  • Flexible working hours — start your workday anytime between 8 and 10 AM (CET).
  • REDs have access to the cafeteria platform through which they can receive vouchers and codes to shops, cinemas, and public transport reimbursement.
  • Training, lectures and courses — internal workshops, external training for each employee, knowledge-sharing initiatives, online tutorials, and e-learning classes are all available. There’s always something to learn!
  • Gifts for newborn rebels and regular chances to nab some cool swag!
  • Social Activities & Life in the Office

  • Dog-friendly office — bring your pooch with you and look after them while working! There’s always a furry friend or two to meet at the studio.
  • Social events — we host regular gatherings at the studio where we can all unwind, play games, and just have some fun together.
  • Healthy selections — our canteens offer a range of healthy meals.
  • Truly international working environment — a chance to meet and work with a diverse selection of people from all around the world.
  • A designated space for your bicycle, as well as bicycle repair equipment and showers available whenever you need them.
  • An onsite, well-equipped gym with a climbing wall, daily Gym Assistant support, and yoga and boxing classes.
  • No dress-code — we like to keep it casual.

    Role-Playing Games

    Like with any good nickname, if a game-dev studio has a catchphrase, it should be something someone says once, then it just sticks. Well, nobody at RED knows who said it first, but “We Are Rebels” has been living with us since forever. It’s on our t-shirts and studio walls; it’s something we say, and one of the ways we think. It’s an expression we often add after coming up with something crazy — as well as a casual equivalent of “what can possibly go wrong?”. And while there’s much shared understanding of its exact meaning, there’s no singular definition everybody would accept without adding a few words of their own. In this phrase, we’ve found something that unites, but also leaves room for individuality. And we love it.Being a rebel doesn’t always mean acting in opposition. One of the things we like doing the most is tackling problems we don’t initially know how to approach. I mean, who in their right mind makes an open world TPP RPG, then a card game, and then an FPP RPG? Us, apparently. Instead of falling into an annualized development cycle, we choose to challenge ourselves, often shooting for the stars. We’re independent and have no corporate overlords, so we have the creative space to experiment, and we’re also big enough to leave a mark and attempt things other studios can’t. Finally, much like every self-respecting rebel, we live to challenge the status quo. Bad design practices, bad business motivations, bad relations with gamers — they’re things we are and will remain vocal about. For everyone's benefit.This is what it means to be a rebel. But there’s definitely more to it — all of us here are really eager to hear what it means for you.
