NOT FOUND THE JOB YOU’RE LOOKING FOR?
life at sumo leamington
starts with our vision and values
Our vision is about the feeling we as a team want to have each and every day as we approach our work and the emotion we want the people who play the games we create to feel. Games that people look forward to coming back to, which evolve with our communities – from day to day, week to week, year to year.
Lucia Pigoli, Concept Artist
Here at Sumo Leamington I found awesome people. Everyone is very honest, always available to help you out and support you. That makes it an amazing environment to not only develop your skills, but also enjoy your job.
Keith Burden, Lead Artist
Sumo Leamington puts the best into you to get the best out. Everyone in the studio shares the same passion for the projects that they work on. This is all inspired by exceptional managers and the very best studio directors in the business.
Amy Elliot, Junior Programmer
I love working at Sumo Leamington as a programmer because there is always opportunities to learn new and innovative things, and work with all sorts of teams!
Aaron Morley, Lead Product Manager
I am very thankful of how respectful the studio is of family commitments. I love how normal it is for people to say casually that they’re doing the school run or have their camera off because a toddler is running riot in the background.
Beccy Collins, Character Artist
I joined Sumo Leamington in 2020 as my first job in games and I feel very lucky to have landed here. The projects have been really fun to work on, but what’s best is the people I work with. The team is so lovely and I genuinely enjoy logging in each day to work on things I’m passionate about with people who are great!
Matthew Pickering, Lead Designer
Sumo Leamington has an amazing culture and invests in the people who work here, supporting them and developing their potential, because happy people make great games!
Graham Mills, Associate Technical Director
When I first joined Sumo Leamington I felt immediately at home. So many companies talk a good game about being “people first” but it was apparent that this was a studio that genuinely believes in that and works hard to create and maintain a positive and engaging company culture. The talented, friendly people , the inclusive culture and the incredible work have all made every day since joining something great to be a part of.
Eltanin Casciani, Community Manager
