We create the best possible, small teams and give them the freedom and independence to work together in pursuit of creating and publishing the highest quality games with high reliability and competition at the heart of the experience. Each team has the freedom to pursue this goal as they see fit. It’s up to them to decide what is best for Sandsoft and for our players.

We defer to trust. We trust each other, even when we disagree.

Everyone is a game maker. Everybody in our team is first and foremost, a Game Maker and you will be no different. We encourage our people to use their talents where they have the most impact. We ask and give feedback proactively to inform our decisions.

We live our company values. We pride ourselves in hiring growth-minded people who show a motivated, collaborative, and entrepreneurial attitude, and who embrace our Core Values as the right way to develop something great together. Sandsoft core values are: Boldness + Togetherness + Growth.
