Description

Grinding Gear Games is the developer and publisher of Path of Exile, the award-winning dark fantasy online Action RPG. Founded and headquartered in Auckland, New Zealand, the company was established in 2006 and released Path of Exile in 2013, winning GameSpot's PC Game of the Year Award that year. Since then, we have continued to evolve Path of Exile with over 30 expansions, eventually winning the 2020 BAFTA award for Best Evolving Game.

At the ExileCon convention in 2019, we announced Path of Exile 2, a AAA sequel to Path of Exile. Alongside continued expansion to the original game, Path of Exile 2 is in full production and we're looking for world-class artists, animators and programmers to help us create it. If this sounds like you, come be part of our story and join us at Grinding Gear Games!

COVID-19 Hiring Update: We’re continuing to interview and hire during this time. Some roles can expect to begin as remote positions, but our goal is for you to join us in Auckland as travel restrictions ease. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and we will work with successful candidates to explore possible interim options.
