Hi there! We are Paintbucket, an award-winning indie studio 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. We create games that address socio-political issues and focus on strong storytelling. Our latest game, The Darkest Files, is a detective game that deals with the legal investigation of Nazi 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).

• you are creative, self-driven, proactive, reliable, and solution-oriented
• you speak fluent English, speaking German is a big plus

Your role:

• you support us in promoting our games in press and gaming platforms
• you plan and create social media content

What we offer you:

• A positive, social, and relaxed work environment - we value trust, open communication, and autonomy of our team members

• A No-Crunch-Policy: All overtime hours are compensated with free time
