Voodoo is a French mobile gaming and consumer applications company founded in 2013 that built its business on hyper-casual games, titles simple enough to understand in seconds and monetised almost entirely through advertising rather than purchases. As advertising costs rose it moved deliberately into hybrid-casual and subscription applications, acquiring the social network BeReal in 2024 and building a portfolio of utility and dating apps alongside the games. Headquartered in Paris and backed by Tencent and Goldman Sachs, it reports billions of downloads and is one of the largest mobile publishers in the world by install volume.

How pay is distributed

Most employers in this selection do not publish a figure, so the range below is Alion's own estimate, derived from 12 comparable listings priced by role, level and country. Across them the middle half of the market sits between $73K and $76K a year, with a median of $75K. Figures are gross annual amounts converted to US dollars, so roles in different currencies stay comparable.

Every listing links straight to the employer, so you apply on their own board rather than through an intermediary.

Where the work is

The largest concentrations of these roles are Turkey (39), Germany (2), Finland (2), Italy (2), and Poland (2). 5% of the listings are fully remote and a further 8% are hybrid, so a large part of this market is open to you regardless of where you live.
