We're still looking for talented Roblox programmers to come help us build the future of @PlayAdoptMe. We're having great chats with people and the same questions keep coming up, so I thought I'd write a thread about our new studio, the team + how we work #RobloxDev #Roblox

Our product roadmap is built collaboratively - design isn't solely issued from above. Have an idea? Pitch it, do it, ship it! We split projects across devs - some are solo projects, some will be 2 or 3 or more people working together. You have a ton of creative and design freedom

There are lots of opportunities to learn new skills and develop. As we grow these opportunities will become more codified. We want devs to grow alongside us and stick around, hopefully for many years to come. I learn something new about myself or my work every week, often daily

Like many small teams, people's roles are nebulous and open to change. Your job title may be "gameplay programmer" but that doesn't mean 100% of your time must be spent programming gameplay - if you have secondary skills, we love that! I'm recording sound effects right now

Everyone on the team is amazing and talented and brilliant and beautiful. We directly value diversity - I genuinely believe it makes the product better. Our team is queer as heck, open and accepting, supportive, with all sorts of different life experiences, I love it so much

We use Discord for comms and Trello, Gsuite/ Gdrive for project management. For Programmers: We work on Git via Rojo. We just started doing PRs, and we'll add more processes organically as we grow. Think we'd benefit from a tool? Pitch it, if it sounds good we'll pay for it

Being on such a small team making such a large game means you have a lot of opportunities to have significant, innovative impacts on our product and studio as we continue to scale. Grow, experiment, learn. These experiences will be invaluable as you continue through your careers

So that's our studio: a small bunch of talented weirdos doing impossibly huge things. I'm immensely excited for 2020, and I'm proud I get to help build this wild thing alongside these amazing people Think you can help us build it? Get in touch: jobs@playadopt.me, my DMs are open
