Note From The Recruiter

We are looking for two Associate Producers to start in January 2025, one for each of our game teams. Due to how this is leveled and the responsibilities of this role, we are not currently able to chat with folks that are below 1 year of experience or more than 4 years in an Associate Producer Role. If you feel your situation is different, please include that in your cover letter. If you're looking for an Associate Producer role to start off your New Year's, we can't wait to chat!

Who We Are

At OtherSide Entertainment our mission is to create deeply immersive games that draw players into richly imagined worlds; games that empower players to choose their own play-style, making their experience unique and personal; games that encourage players to team up with their friends and weave their own shared narrative; the kind of games that are powered by our players’ vision as much as our own. Together, we aim to evolve the “player-authored” tradition of Ultima Underworld, System Shock, Thief, and Deus Ex – all games developed by the company’s founders, Paul Neurath and Warren Spector.

The Opportunity

We are looking for two Associate Producers that can provide day-to-day support for our remote-first teams moving forward into production. This role is ideal for someone with 2-3 years in game production experience, working with cross-functional teams to track progress, maintain project documentation, and keep communication flowing. You will play a key role in identifying risks, asking the right questions to keep things moving, and supporting the team in delivering our vision for a world-class PC and Console multiplayer-stealth game OR immersive sim.

Job Responsibilities

• Maintain Project Documentation: Keep Jira projects, task boards, and Confluence documentation organized and up to date, ensuring all team members have the latest information.
• Assist Feature Lane Development: Work closely with feature leads to track progress and ensure that development stays on schedule. Follow up on tasks and milestones to prevent delays.
• Identify Risks and Red Flags: Proactively recognize issues and risks that may impact the project timeline or quality, and flag them for the production team.
• Ask the Right Questions: Keep things moving by asking necessary questions when tasks are unclear, dependencies are blocked, or risks are identified, ensuring smooth communication across teams.
• Support Daily Operations: Assist in tracking team progress, ensuring tasks are completed on time, and coordinating with cross-functional teams to remove blockers.
• Contribute to Sprint Planning: Help organize and execute sprint plans by supporting backlog prioritization, scheduling, and sprint reviews.

Qualifications

• 2-3 years of experience in a game production role or supporting feature development, including task tracking and team coordination. We are not currently able to hire this position as a junior or a mid level.
• Hands-on experience with project management tools like Jira, Confluence, and Google Docs. Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously.
• A proactive mindset—able to ask the right questions, identify risks early, and solve problems.
• Excellent communication skills and ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams.
• A passion for game development and a desire to grow in a production role.

Bonus

• Experience in a distributed team environment.
• Familiarity with agile processes and terminology.
• Familiarity with the immersive sim, cooperative, multiplayer, or stealth games.
• Experience supporting external partners or contractors.

Additional Notes

This is a full-time, remote working role, with competitive compensation and a full suite of benefits available anywhere in the United States. All team members may be asked to occasionally travel for key meetings, as part of their job responsibilities.

Our people-first approach to game development celebrates diversity, and strives to create a safe and inclusive working environment where everyone is treated equally, with dignity, and with respect. We highly encourage candidates from diverse and under-represented backgrounds to apply, even those that may not directly meet every qualification listed for this role.

A Warning About Job Scams - We hate that we have to say it, but there are always bad actors trying to take advantage of people. We've become aware that there are scammers impersonating us with job interview messages. Please keep diligent and know that we will never have you download anything for an interview (We use Teamtailor, which is a SaaS product) and not Telegram or other message services. We also will not ever ask you for money, for you to buy your own equipment, or that you travel somewhere for an interview and we will reimburse you. When in doubt, please feel free to message the recruiter listed for each role on LinkedIn, or our CPO Juliette (https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliettedupre/) about the legitimacy of any messages.
