ABOUT FUNDAMENTALLY GAMES

Fundamentally Games works with developers and organisations to transform games into living games, providing ‘liveops-as-a-service’ to get more players, doing more things, more often, for longer.

We’re a small but growing diverse team, and we value work life balance, so we have flexible working policies in place, subject to a few conditions and the requirements of projects you may be working on of course! Firstly, we all work from home (or from a local hot desk) and (when there isn’t a global pandemic) meet up in person around once a month, usually in London. We have flexible working hours to support our team to be able to do their job around their personal commitments. For example, if you have kids you can work between the hours your children are in school, or you can do more hours a day and only work 4 days a week.
