Your role within our Kingdom
As a part of the Business Performance Trainee Program, you will be at the heart of helping make games that are played and loved by millions of players.

Parallel with your day- to- day work you will take part in training to set you up for success and fast- track your development during the program. The rotations in combination with this training will challenge you and help you grow both professionally and personally.
