Welcome to the Cryptic Studios Careers Center. Cryptic Studios is dedicated to breaking new ground in massively multiplayer online games while still maintaining the casual, dynamic work environment that you would expect from an independent game studio. We're focused on the future at Cryptic, but we always make time for fun too. And we won't "crunch" your life away — the balance between work and family is important to us.

At Cryptic, we are more than a developer and publisher; we are a team of passionate, talented individuals who love what we do and what we are creating. We invite you to discover all that Cryptic Studios has to offer.
