Kybolt is a remote studio headquartered in 🇮🇪 Ireland, and working across Europe.
Culture & Values
While we work with games and technology, we are in the people business — and place people first.
Our values include:
👂 Leadership
we are comfortable leading by example, and ensure we can continue to do so by maintaining a growth mindset.
🌐 Inclusion
we proactively take steps to ensure everyone feels valued and supported, in their communication, setbacks, achievements, and emotional safety.
🌱 Positive Impact
we leave people better than we found them, and maintain a connection to joy, dignity, and delight.
Our founder is a Women in Games ambassador, and our games make clear public commitments around living our values.
Opportunities
As an early-stage startup — we don't have formal role postings, but we do have opportunities. If we start a conversation and find exceptional mutual fit, your name would join ours on a deck and we would fundraise with an offer contingent on funding.
Senior experience at a minimum in programming/tech, narrative design, or game design is most suitable for our current stage.
As our scope includes leadership skills and learning, we have funding options that many game studios would not. Getting in early like this isn't for everyone, but take a read and see if our vision resonates.
At this time we are building our team exclusively in Europe (EU/EEA/UK).
Due to limited resources, we can't always guarantee a response to enquiries. All emails relating to Kybolt will come from @kybolt.com addresses.
MSCA Post-Doctoral Research Fellowships
In 2025, Kybolt will support an MSCA Fellowship application. This allows a post-doctoral researcher to move to or within the EU on a very attractive contract.
- This opportunity would explore research topics related to leadership, team dynamics, toxicity, and skill development.
- Candidates must be known to us by August to have a realistic window to prepare the application.
Internships
Kybolt has run several summer internship programmes to nurture future talent and develop leaders in our industry. These are remote-first on an European timezone, typically part-time, and are structured with a focus on portfolio outcomes and building real commercial experience.
This programme may resume in 2026, and we encourage interested parties to express their interest well in advance as places are highly competitive.
