About Us
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, highly collaborative team with a strong creative spirit. We believe the best games are made when the people behind them feel inspired, supported, and proud of their work.
That's why our values sit at the heart of how we work, shaping every decision and creative choice we make.
Trailmix Values
- We win as one: Success is shared, and collaboration fuels everything we do because great games are never built solo.
- 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.

- Partner with the COO and CFO on quarterly investment planning.
- Act as the central owner of audience strategy, deepening player understanding through research and translating behaviours into actionable insights across teams.
- Align closely with Game GMs on priorities, pressure-testing assumptions, and connecting learnings across games to accelerate progress.
- Own and direct relationships with platforms, UA partners, creators, and agencies for all outside-the-game channels.
- Hire and develop central growth talent while setting a high-quality bar for growth work across the studio.
- Present strategy and results to the Leadership Team and act as the external face of growth for partners and investors.

- Communicates with clarity and care: You give feedback that builds trust, and you listen openly so ideas can flourish.
- Stays curious and lifts others: You experiment, learn quickly, and share your discoveries generously, raising the bar for the whole team.
- Moves with courage and ownership: You make bold calls when it matters, and you stand by them with accountability.

We work side by side to turn them into reality.
