### About us

Come join the team building the engine behind rewarded mobile gaming – making playtime truly rewarding. At JustPlay, we’re on a mission to power a fairer, more sustainable rewarded gaming ecosystem where users earn real value for their time through a self-sustaining modell.

Since launching in 2020, we’ve grown into one of the world’s leading rewarded gaming platforms, with 25M+ downloads and 500K+ daily active users. Headquartered in Berlin and backed by NCSoft, one of the world’s leading gaming companies, we continue to operate fully independently – combining the speed, ownership, and ambition of a startup with the long-term backing of a global gaming powerhouse.

With a team across 20+ countries, we’re shaping a major shift in mobile gaming – and it’s still early enough for you to make your mark. At JustPlay, you’ll build end-to-end, move fast, and ship work that reaches millions – in a company that’s profitable, built to last, and focused on outcomes over hype.

Everyone's welcome here
At JustPlay, we believe different perspectives help us build better products. With team members from 30+ nationalities, different experiences and backgrounds are an important part of how we work and grow.
We hire based on skills, potential, and how you work. Your age, gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or background don't come into it. If you don't meet every requirement in this ad, apply anyway. We know great candidates don’t always tick every box and some of our best hires didn't either. We are looking forward to your application!

**Live in Justplay Gmbh’s hiring system.** Read from the company's own applicant tracking system, not reposted from a job board — so it's a real, open requisition rather than an ad that outlived the role.

We remove it as soon as it disappears at source.
