You can find the up-to-date list of all open positions on our career page. If you would like to apply for any of the roles, simply click on "apply now" at the bottom of the respective job description.

SHOULD MY APPLICATION BE IN ENGLISH OR IN GERMAN?

As we have many international colleagues and thus our company language is English, we recommend to share your application documents in English as it assures that everyone involved in the application process can correctly evaluate your profile.

Speaking German is not required at InnoGames unless otherwise mentioned in the job description (e.g., for apprenticeships since the vocational school and the final exam are conducted in German). We also offer German and English language courses for our employees (and their spouses) on a voluntary basis.

CAN I APPLY FOR SEVERAL JOBS AT THE SAME TIME?

You have the opportunity to apply for several roles. Still, we kindly ask you to self-reflect on available opportunities first and apply only for those jobs that suit both your expertise and your expectations.

Our Talent Acquisition Managers will evaluate your profile having all our open positions in mind. If you are a great fit for a role, you did not apply for, we will inform you.

IF I RECEIVE A REJECTION, CAN I STILL APPLY FOR A DIFFERENT JOB?

Throughout the application process, we always cross-evaluate your application for currently available similar jobs. However, you are very welcome to keep an eye on new job opportunities published on our career page and apply again.

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I SUBMIT MY APPLICATION?

Your application will be evaluated by our Talent Acquisition Managers to see how well your profile matches the job you have applied for. If we think you might be a good fit, we will contact you directly. If you do not hear back from us within two weeks after applying, feel free to contact us to check on the status of your application. We will always inform you about our decision, but please note that due to the very high number of applications we receive, we cannot provide detailed feedback to those applicants who were unsuccessful in the first steps of the application process.

HOW DOES TRAVEL BOOKING AND REIMBURSEMENT FOR INTERVIEWS WORK?

Generally, you will organize your travel yourself. We reimburse travel costs from your home to our office (including the accommodation if needed) that have emerged due to the interviewing process. However, this will be arranged with you properly during the process of your application.

DOES INNOGAMES SUPPORT ME WITH RELOCATION TO HAMBURG?

We will fully support you in the whole relocation process. Depending on the country of origin, the relocation support includes assistance in the visa and work permit process as well as any other paperwork that needs to be done (e. g., registration at German authorities, opening a bank account, application for the health insurance).

Our HR Operations team as well as our external relocation agency will guide you through all steps of the relocation journey to make sure that your start in Germany is as smooth as possible.

CAN I SEND AN APPLICATION FOR A ROLE THAT IS NOT LISTED ON YOUR CAREER PAGE (AN UNSOLICITED APPLICATION)?

You can always find all our current vacancies on our career page. Therefore, we kindly ask you to look through the posted openings and focus on applying for the suitable ones using the "apply now" button underneath the job description.

CAN I REAPPLY FOR THE SAME JOB, EVEN IF I WAS REJECTED FOR THAT JOB PREVIOUSLY?

Unfortunately, you cannot reapply for the same job, as we have already evaluated your skills and they do not fit the requirements we have for this job.

However, you can still apply for other current openings. Nevertheless, we kindly ask you to self-reflect on available opportunities first and apply only for those jobs that suit both your expertise and your expectations. Throughout the application process, we always cross-evaluate your application for similar jobs.

ARE THERE DEADLINES FOR APPLICATIONS?

We do not have specific deadlines for applications. However, we are trying to fill open positions as fast as possible. So, as long as you can find a position on our careers page, it is still vacant, and you can apply for it.

But, of course, the odds are rising that someone else is already near the end of the application process the longer you wait, so we would suggest handing in your application documents as soon as they are ready.

DO YOU ACCEPT APPLICATIONS FROM OUTSIDE OF GERMANY?

Of course, we are hiring great talent from all over the world. So, we are happy to receive your application - wherever you come from!

CAN I PREPARE FOR MY INTERVIEW?

We want to get to know you better, so just be yourself and do not be afraid to ask questions.

CAN I VISIT THE INNOGAMES OFFICE AND MEET SOMEONE FROM THE TALENT ACQUISTION MANAGEMENT TEAM SPONTANEOUSLY?

If you have not applied for this job before and it seems that there might be an error on our system’s side, please send your application documents to us by email (recruiting@innogames.com).

I HAVE APPLIED FOR A WRONG JOB. CAN I CHANGE IT SOMEHOW?

We are happy change it for you. Just send us a short email to recruiting@innogames.com.

I DO NOT MEET ALL THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE JOB. CAN I STILL APPLY?

The requirements in the job description reflect the ideal skillset of the candidate. If you don't fulfill all requirements, you can still apply, as we have a strong belief that technical skills can be learned on the job.However, there is a difference between “almost qualified” and “not even close”, so please be mindful here.

Besides the technical skills, we also evaluate the team and company fit over the course of the application process. So, even if you don't fulfill all technical expectations, you can convince the hiring team with your personality and passion.

I HAVE ACCEPTED A JOB SOMEWHERE ELSE. HOW CAN I CANCEL MY APPLICATION?

Informing us that you want to withdraw your application saves us a lot of effort, so we appreciate it! Just send an email by replying to the last email from us or writing directly to recruiting@innogames.com.

CAN I WORK REMOTELY FOR INNOGAMES?

We offer our colleagues the flexibility to choose between working from their home in Germany and our modern offices in central Hamburg. And with regular times planned together in the office, we keep up our unique InnoGames spirit!

Important: starting your job with InnoGames would require a work permit in Germany from day one, which you can only obtain already having set foot on German ground. Moreover, it is essential, i. a., for tax and social insurance reasons, that you are in Germany, as we do not have any subsidiaries outside of Germany. So, for a remote start into the job, it would currently be necessary to live in any German city already.

But we are working on a solution for international remote work - stay tuned.

HOW FLEXIBLE ARE THE WORKING HOURS AT INNOGAMES?

We have flexible working hours between 6 am and 11 pm from Monday to Friday. We do not have official company core hours, and teams decide on their own how the best possible collaboration for them can be assured while still keeping the flexibility.

DOES INNOGAMES OFFER APPRENTICESHIPS?

Since the company foundation in 2007, we are offering apprenticeship positions to counteract the shortage of skilled professionals. The main focus of our apprenticeship roles is on the field of development – here we are offering several positions yearly.

Every 2-3 years we offer apprenticeship positions in the fields of System Administration, Marketing and Art too.

All available apprenticeship opportunities can be found on our career page under the section “Career Starters”. If there are no apprenticeship positions advertised, we are already fully stuffed for the upcoming year of training.

DO YOU OFFER INTERNSHIPS?

We offer internship positions in different departments on a regular basis. But since we always want both sides to benefit from an internship, we only offer internships for a minimum of six months and only if we can assure our full support

All available internship opportunities can be found on our career page, in the "Career Starters" section.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO DO A SCHOOL INTERNSHIP AT INNOGAMES?

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer school internships currently.

We only offer internships with a minimum duration of six months and only if we have sufficient capacity to provide optimal support in relevant departments. We will publish those internships on our career page, in the "Career Starters" section.

When it comes to internships, we are commited to providing you with a high-quality experience and opportunity to learn meaningfully. We believe it would not be fair to you if we offer an internship of a shorter duration without being able to assure you of our comprehensive support.

CAN I WRITE MY THESIS AT INNOGAMES?

Due to the high number of students currently completing their combined Master's and Bachelor's studies with InnoGames, we do not have a capacity to support external theses.

DOES INNOGAMES OFFER DUAL STUDY PROGRAMS?

At InnoGames we offer combined study programs with the focus on Development or Business (e.g., Marketing) –  the so called InnoBachelor and InnoMaster programs. The difference to a dual study program is that students are studying part-time while being in a part-time employment with InnoGames. So, there is no rotation in monthly blocks between theoretical courses at the university and practical on-the-job-training at the company.

All available combined study programs can be found on our career page, in the "Career Starters" section.

WHAT HAPPENS WITH MY PERSONAL DATA WHEN I APPLY AT INNOGAMES?

As soon as you upload your data into our system, we´ll ask you to allow us to save and use it for the duration of the application process. If you consent, we can store your data for up to 8 months. Of course, you can withdraw your consent at any time by simply sending an email to recruiting@innogames.com. We will delete your application and data straight away.

CAN I DO FREELANCE WORK FOR INNOGAMES?

For the jobs listed on our career page, we are looking for long-term employment relationships, unless in a rare case the job descriptions explicitly calls for a freelance work.

Although we work with freelancers on a regular basis, we have a strong network of freelancers and outsourcing studios already and are not actively looking for extending it at the moment.

HOW SHOULD I ADDRESS PEOPLE AT INNOGAMES?

InnoGames has a highly professional but friendly, casual and creative atmosphere where everyone, including the management, expects to be addressed by the first-name (in German, "du").

CAN I SUBMIT MY GAME IDEA?

Every aspect of InnoGames´games is developed internally. Therefore, we kindly ask you not to submit your ideas –all creative material will be returned unread.
