Hi there! We are Paintbucket Games, an award-winning game developer from Berlin, founded by two AAA veterans: Jörg Friedrich and Sebastian St. Schulz. We develop games that matter, with sociopolitically relevant themes, delivering meaningful messages through strong narratives. Our debut game, Through the Darkest of Times, is a critically acclaimed antifascist strategy game, focused on civil resistance during the Nazi era. The game secured us the German Developer Award (Deutscher Entwicklerpreis) and the German Video Game Award (Deutscher Computerspielpreis). We are currently producing a sequel, which revolves around legal reconnaissance of NS crimes in post-war Germany.

This is where you come in. We are looking for a person with highly communicative talent to help us promote our game(s). We offer you the opportunity to become creative yourself, to develop and implement your own strategies and to gain insights into the games industry.

Your role:
