Founded in 2008 and fully bootstrapped, we're passionate about crafting customer-centric gaming experiences with exciting challenges and opportunities in both the business and creative realms. Our games consistently generate revenue, which fuels new projects and allows us to remain independent and agile. Our tech stack is designed to provide a seamless 24/7 global service, ensuring lightning-fast performance with minimal downtime. We leverage technologies like SPF, DNSSEC, Cloudflare CDN, and Amazon Web Services to provide a robust infrastructure, constantly iterating and pushing new features to our products. We value giving small, highly talented teams challenging problems and providing them the autonomy to succeed. At Kano, we embrace a remote-first work culture with an in-person attendance requirement 2-6 times per year. Our core values, including Player Obsession, Ownership, Resourcefulness, and Continuous Improvement, shape our approach to game development and company operations. We are committed to fostering an environment where team members can grow, learn, and make a real difference. We've been recognized as a Great Place to Work multiple times and were the 2018 VIATEC Company of the Year. We are seeking a passionate Game Artist/2D Animator and a Junior QA professional to help us build the future of our games.
