About Us

Welcome to the world of Iteration One. Great to have you here!

We are an independent studio and publisher of free-to-play mobile games. Our successful idle games are built in an iterative process by our team of experts.

Founded in 2022, we’re a small yet powerful team of experts, dedicated to mastering the art of crafting successful idle games through innovation, iteration, and excellence in every step of the process.

Our current flagship game, Nightclub Tycoon, is a lighthearted idle tycoon game available on iOS and Android, set in a friendly and witty nightlife setting.

At Iteration One, iteration is more than just a word—it’s the heart of our approach. Passionate about the process of creating exceptional games? Maybe we should talk!

We’re looking for a Junior Game Developer who is ready to bring creativity, passion, and technical skills to our team. This role is perfect for graduates or aspiring developers who have a solid foundation in C# and a love for mobile games, especially Free-to-Play (F2P) titles.

If you’ve dabbled in game creation during your studies or in your free time, particularly with Unity and uGUI, and developed a small game, we’d love to see your work. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn are just as important as your technical skills.

  • Write clean, efficient, and maintainable C# code for mobile platforms (iOS/Android).

  • Contribute to the design and optimization of game systems, focusing on performance and user experience.

  • Experiment with tools like LeanTween, DoTween, or UniRx, bringing your ideas to life.

  • Take part in brainstorming sessions and offer creative solutions to challenges.

  • Work closely with artists, designers, and producers to bring game concepts to fruition.

Requirements

  • Passion for Mobile Games: You love F2P games and understand what makes them fun and engaging.

  • Strong C# and Unity Skills: Whether learned through studies, personal projects, or online courses, you’re confident in coding and eager to grow.

  • Hands-On Experience: Ideally, you’ve created small games or experimented with tools like Unity, uGUI, or others.

  • Team Spirit: You enjoy collaborating and are open to feedback.

  • Language Skills: Strong English skills are a must (German is a bonus).

  • Availability: You’re happy to work three days per week on-site with our team in Karlsruhe/Ettlingen.

What We Offer

  • Guidance and Growth: Learn from experienced professionals who are excited to help you kickstart your career.

  • Creative Collaboration: Join a friendly and open-minded team where your ideas matter.

  • Hybrid Workplace: Work both from home and in our modern office in Karlsruhe.

  • Exciting Projects: Get involved in developing engaging mobile games that reach players worldwide.
