We are looking to grow our team.
Karma Games is a growing team based in Berlin/Germany, always on the lookout for new members. Our goal is to become one of the leading publishers of mid-to heavy strategy games.

Our company culture is driven, goal-oriented, and friendly. Our communication is rather direct and analytical. The best argument wins, no matter if it was suggested by the intern or the CEO. Yet we maintain a playful and fun vibe.
