At Trailmix, our players are the very reason we exist and our mission is to create delightful spaces where millions of people can flourish. Our hit game Love & Pies, launched in September 2021, has resonated with millions worldwide and we build free-to-play mobile games that are snackable yet filled with heart, humour, and stories that stick.
We're a focused and highly collaborative team with a big creative spirit. We believe the best games are made when the people behind them feel inspired, supported, and proud of the work they do.
That's why our values sit at the heart of how we work, shaping every decision and creative choice we make.
Trailmix Values

- We are resilient by nature: We adapt and rise stronger each time because every challenge is a chance to evolve.
- We are powered by our players: Every choice begins with them because when our players thrive, so do we.
- We are kind and direct: We speak with honesty and care because clarity and compassion build the trust that makes us better.
- We stay curious and grow: We ask, explore, and learn because curiosity keeps our creativity alive.
- We decide boldly and own fully: We move with courage and conviction because great ideas only matter when we stand behind them.
Our values are what set Trailmix apart: they guide us in crafting games that are joyful, authentic, and player-first. We've created a workplace where both people and players feel seen, supported, and inspired. If you're excited by meaningful creativity, true collaboration, and making games that bring people joy, you'll feel right at home here, too.

About You
- Excellent 2D art, concepting, and rendering skills.

- Unity experience is a plus.
- A strong portfolio demonstrating environment design, rendering, and polished game-ready assets.
You'll be joining a small, collaborative team during a busy period of production, so we're looking for someone who can get up to speed quickly, work independently, and produce high-quality work from day one.

- Grows stronger through challenges: You adapt, stay positive, and help others find a way forward when things get messy.
- Keeps players at the heart of decisions: You design, create, and problem-solve with empathy, knowing players are our why.

We're always excited to welcome more people who share our passion for designing games that truly include everyone.
