Job Description
$15-$25 per hour. 40 hours per week.
Full time Remote
At Uitrial, we think it should be easy for game development teams to understand their users as much as possible. After all, user experience is a primary factor that drives the success of their business.
We founded Uitrial to build the first-ever SaaS, combining information-rich data obtained from playtesting, and the accessibility of analytics, while taking the best of both worlds. Our mission is to enable game development teams to act and improve their products, as painlessly as possible.
When we achieve that, more game developers will build great games, more players will be able to leave their mark on game development, resulting in many more happy players worldwide.
Uitrial is a SaaS and, partly, a consultancy that automates an otherwise complex process of obtaining actionable information from user audiences. We enable game development companies to improve their products by revealing reasons, and not symptoms, of how users interact with them.
Our team now comprises 10+ thinkers, makers, and professionals in Cyprus and worldwide. We’re a remote-first company so you can join our team from anywhere.
To date, Uitrial has raised upwards $2M in funding from veterans and VCs of the game industry.
