Game Porting Programmer a.k.a. Port Captain

---

Vile Monarch, a hard rock games studio from Warsaw, is looking for someone who remains sensitive in any case. Doesn’t matter if it’s upper, lower, or camel... Currently more than 60 Monarchs reign in the studio, including veterans (who worked on This War of Mine, The Witcher series, Dying Light or Hard West), that in 6 years shipped 4 successful games, conquering PC, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, PS4, Xbox One and Switch.

• Crush Your Enemies - multiplatform bite-sized RTS
• Oh...Sir!! The Insult Simulator - hit party game based on building absurd sentences
• Oh...Sir! Hollywood Roast - a spin-off in the world of film
• Weedcraft Inc - ambitious tycoon game about the marijuana industry

Vile Monarch feeds on creativity - we love making fresh things of different sizes, for different platforms, in different genres. Our focus is compelling fantasies served through expertly designed game systems. Currently, we’re working on 3 bigger, unannounced titles: each very different, there’s realism and fantasy among them, humor and maturity, 3D art, and 2D. All of them have management and strategy elements, but different amounts. And we’re not stopping here, hoping to start new projects soon! We need a captain who will help us conquer various ports - including next-gen consoles - where we could ship these three games, as well as our future titles or indie hits developed by our allies.
