Welcome to Entry Level Game Jobs
Why we built Entry Level Game Jobs, who it serves, and what we are shipping next.

Founder
Hi. I'm Noah, and this is the first post on the Entry Level Game Jobs blog. If you've been following along through Bluesky, Discord, or the changelog, you already know what we're building. If not — here's the short version.
Why this exists
Most job boards in the games industry are not built for people trying to get their first job. They're packed with senior listings, the entry-level slots get buried, and there's no real signal between a real opportunity and a copy-paste posting that's been open for six months.
The path to "junior game programmer" or "associate level designer" or "QA tester" is well-trodden — but you have to know exactly where to look. We want to make where-to-look the default, not the secret.
What we built
Entry Level Game Jobs is three things in one platform:
- A focused job board for entry-level, junior, internship, and freelance roles in the game industry — including game studios, publishers, esports orgs, and adjacent companies (engine tooling, live ops, community).
- A learning library of guides, interview prep, and concrete tutorials for the disciplines we cover. This grows every week.
- AI-powered career tools that critique your resume, run mock interviews, and surface listings that actually fit your background.
Job seekers can use most of the platform for free. Employers pay for listings; that's how we keep the lights on without charging the people just starting out.
What's next
A few things we're working on in the next quarter:
- More freelance and contract listings. Many junior careers start with contracts, not full-time roles, and we want to surface more of them.
- Studio profiles. Easier to see who is hiring, what they make, and what entry-level paths exist at each studio.
- Better matching. Less searching, more "here are 5 roles that fit you, apply with one click."
If there's something you want to see, drop it on the feedback board — that's how most of the roadmap gets prioritized.
