About the company

We are Galactic Fleet, a Hungarian game development company based in Budapest. We work in co-development with US game studios on multiple projects, building video games for various platforms.

Why join Us?

In an industry based on fun, your job should be fun For us, fun is: solving hard problems, coloring outside the lines, building the impossible, and working collaboratively. Fun is seeing someone play your game on a bus or plane. We value every idea, contribution, and perspective; and will work tirelessly to put those ideas into something tangible in the hands of our players.

How we work

At the core of our culture are values that guide how we work, collaborate, and grow — with integrity, respect, and a commitment to excellence. These principles define who we are and how we show up every day.

• We are open

Every aspect of diversity is welcome. We build an inclusive environment where employees from various backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives feel valued and respected. Be curious about others' opinions and ideas and incorporate them into your view.

• Transparency

Transparency fosters honesty and clarity within a company, reducing employee stress and anxiety while building trust between us. By setting clear goals and responsibilities, it boosts morale and helps employees stay focused on their tasks and company objectives.

• Be direct and kind

We want to solve problems while they are small. Because of that, regular feedback is always welcome: helps to motivate us, confirms that we are on the right track, or to point out mistakes we can learn from, so it adds a lot to efficiency. Always try to make a separation between the work and the person, you can criticize someone's work but still be respectful to the person.

• Stand up

Stand up for yourself and for your colleagues as well Dare to use your voice if you experience unfair treatment, uncomfortable situations or any kind of harassment. Also make some noise if you see something goes south and even your leaders could not spot it.

• Volunteer, Take leadership and Get it done

Don't always wait for approval Be proactive, independent, trust your knowledge and experience, and make initiatives that can get us closer to a solution. Even if you are not an expert in that area or the project is not well defined, initiating work and driving it is more important than letting it slide.

• Disagree and commit

It is welcomed if you disagree with a decision, but once it is made we all commit to it wholly.

• Take the responsibility

Making mistakes at work is an important part of the learning process. What's more important is how we handle them. By acknowledging and owning our mistakes, we can find solutions, improve our skills, and prevent the same issues from happening in the future. Take ownership of your decisions and actions, and hold yourself accountable for the outcomes.

• Team work

By sharing tasks and responsibilities, we not only increase efficiency but also foster a strong sense of collaboration and unity. This approach enhances team spirit, encourages open communication, and ensures that every member contributes to our collective success. We believe that together, we achieve more, and our cohesive team drives us toward continuous growth and innovation.

• Dare to learn

We're building a learning organization where curiosity and growth matter more than perfection. We embrace experimentation, learn from mistakes, and turn every experience into an opportunity to get better — together.

• Adapt to change

We're all about the user experience; technology is just a tool. If we spot a chance to make things better for our users, we're open to switching up technologies to get there. We love diving into new tech and figuring out how to use it to achieve our main goal.

• Emphasize with the player

Through a Compassionate Design Philosophy, every creative decision is made with empathy. Our stories invite self-reflection, and our games aim not just to entertain but to support and nourish the player.
