Rovio Entertainment, founded in 2003, is an industry-changing entertainment media company and creator of the globally successful Angry Birds franchise. Angry Birds, a casual puzzle game, became an international phenomenon within a few months of its release and is now the number one paid app of all time. Rovio has launched nine blockbuster games so far for different platforms: Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, Angry Birds Rio, Angry Birds Space, Angry Birds Friends, Amazing Alex, Bad Piggies, Angry Birds Star Wars and Angry Birds Star Wars II. Following this success in mobile gaming, Angry Birds has expanded rapidly in entertainment, publishing, and licensing to become a beloved international brand. Rovio has grown alongside Angry Birds, and the multifaceted entertainment house currently employs more than 700 professionals in its headquarters in Espoo, Finland, and offices in Tampere, the United States, China, Sweden, Japan and the U.K. Rovio`s reach extends far beyond Finnish borders, with current employees representing more than 38 nationalities. As a rapidly growing company with plenty of opportunities for go-getters, the company is especially attractive to young people who are ready to show their mettle. Rovio regularly brings new talent to the field through training programs, partly in cooperation with universities. Rovio has created a world-class entertainment industry in Finland and turned it into a significant local employer. With an open organizational culture that welcomes new ideas and suggestions for improvements at all levels, Rovio is constantly looking to innovate and grow along with its employees.

PlayFab’s mission is to power the future of live games by providing developers and publishers with the best liveops platform in the industry. Game developers shouldn’t need to worry whether their servers can scale, or which of the ten SDKs they’re trying to use broke the build. With PlayFab, they don’t have to. We tell game developers, “you bring the fun, we’ll do the rest.” PlayFab recently received Series A funding from Benchmark and Madrona Venture Group, so we’re about to enter a period of rapid expansion in both our team and our ambitions. New hires should expect to hit the ground running and make significant contributions from day one. We’re not the kind of start-up with a kegerator; we’re the kind where everyone is super productive and then goes home on time.
