Who We Are

Second Dinner is an award-winning independent game development studio that is here to make the most fun games in the world. Not super fun games. Not SUPER DUPER fun games. We mean the MOST fun games. In fact, our game MARVEL SNAP has earned multiple Mobile Game of the Year Awards (Game Awards, DICE), Best Strategy Game (IGN), and the Apple Design Award for Innovation!

Second Dinner is a remote-first studio, so while we are headquartered in Irvine, California, most of our team is fully remote across the United States. We want the most talented teammates wherever they call home. A diverse team with varied perspectives makes us a better company and will help us make better games. If you can bring something new to the table and expand our point of view, that's a huge upside.

Our Engineering Team

At Second Dinner, we believe that great people in a great work environment lead to great games and player experiences. In engineering, we empower our teams to build and innovate with best-in-class tools in novel ways. Our goal is to simplify game development and redefine what is possible in game development.

Your Role

You will own and drive Marvel Snap’s Test Automation initiative, as well as perform various DevOps duties.

If you’re passionate about testing, automation, validation, and continuous integration, then we'd love to hear from you!
