The market right now
Alion currently lists 605 open Game Developer jobs from 101 companies. 86 of them were posted or refreshed in the last seven days. 88 of the employers have posted something in the last three months, which is the pool worth watching if you are starting a search now. Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.
What these roles pay
76 of these Game Developer jobs state pay directly. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $89K and $176K a year, with a median of $119K. By level, the median runs middle at $90K, senior at $139K, and lead at $180K. The step from middle to lead is worth about 2x on median pay. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.
Where the work is
The largest concentrations of these roles are Poland (55), Turkey (27), Spain (25), France (19), and Romania (17). 19% of the listings are fully remote and a further 21% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
Who is hiring
The employers with the most open Game Developer jobs right now are 3Lateral (48), Side (44), Ubisoft (30), Keywords Studios (30), 2K Games (28), and Voodoo (25). Each company page on Alion carries its size, funding stage, tech stack and every other position it has open, so you can judge the employer before you spend an evening on the application.
What employers ask for
Reading across the current listings, the tools that come up most often are Unreal Engine (256), Unity (207), Maya (165), C++ (139), Adobe Photoshop (122), Blender (115), 3ds Max (87), and Houdini (75). The counts are how many of these openings name each one, which is a better guide to what is actually being hired for than a generic skills list.
Relocation, visas and equity
Of the current Game Developer jobs, 24 state visa sponsorship, 87 offer a relocation package, and 26 include equity. These are filters on the list above, so you can narrow it to the ones that make a move possible for you.
