WE WANT YOU TO #JOINTHEREBELLION!

For 30 years we’ve been independently developing and publishing incredible video games at our multiple studios founded by Jason & Chris Kingsley, but Rebellion is more than just games. We have our own film studio, we create board games, publish books, and through 2000AD, publish comics and graphic novels such as the amazing Judge Dredd.

JOIN OUR ESTEEMED STUDIO, THE CREATIVE FORCE BEHIND ATOMFALL, ZOMBIE ARMY, AND THE SNIPER ELITE SERIES, AS WE SEEK A PASSIONATE STUDIO QA LEAD! WE’RE LOOKING FOR AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A STRONG TRACK RECORD IN LEADING QA TEAMS AND EXCEPTIONAL PEOPLE MANAGEMENT ABILITIES.

We believe in the power of face-to-face collaboration and encourage working from our studios. However, we understand that flexibility matters, so we’re open to discussing hybrid options based on individual needs.
