Game Closure is behind Everwing, the top game on Facebook’s Instant Games platform. In parallel, we’ve built the world’s most advanced javascript game engine for messenger games. We’ve raised more than $30M, and we have more than a million users per engineer at the company.

Our technologies and games have already been in front of many tens of millions of users, and we’re adding millions of new users monthly.

The Game Closure team is growing very rapidly. We need senior engineers for game development and game engine technology roles. These are high leverage senior positions. Remote workers are welcome. Our teams are already highly distributed because we’re looking to build the best engineering team in the world.

Outside of our games, we have projects for hosted real-time multiplayer gaming, social gaming, cross-compilation to native platforms, React integration, and many other core infrastructure tools that we would welcome your support on defining and creating.

Please include a personal note about your background and interests so we can prioritize your application!

Best, Ben

Beware of these folks. When I interviewed (when they posted a remote job here before) they told me after wasting a bunch of time that they aren't actually looking for remote devs. It's not clear why they keep posting remote listings here.

They also seem not to be called "Game Closure" anymore. They changed to "Weeby" and then "BlackStorm". Previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14485509

I'm really curious what they are up to.

Thanks for the heads up. I too see something fishy going on.

Be careful when dealing with this company. They have rebranded themselves many times. I have a personal negative experience with them, and seems many others do as well. I interviewed on site, and via Skype. They seem like a decent company on the surface, but in action, appear completely disorganized.

I'm really curious about what's really going on there.

Hi - do you consider non-US remote candidates?
