Why Sinn Studio
Passionate founders and dedicated team members. Our vision is to create visceral experiences in virtual reality; we want our community to live through experiences that they never thought possible. We’re constantly looking to innovate, so we actively encourage our team members to experiment, regardless of the result. As much as we enjoy the industry and indulge in it, we’ve cultivated a well-balanced work culture where we hang out and chat about topics outside of work during downtimes. More importantly, since we’re gamers, we game together frequently.
This position is an excellent opportunity to get in early with an industry-proven start-up.
