Are you a web developer who’s always wanted to make indie video games? This is for you. Elsewhere is a San Francisco-based game studio building multiplayer roguelike games. We’re working on two projects, one of which is a roguelike deck builder in the vein of great titles like Inscryption and Slay the Spire with a little Pokemon TCP and Marvel SNAP thrown in. We’re building games with TypeScript, React, and HTML/CSS as well as Websockets (via Colyseus). We’re using generative AI in a fascinatingly new and creative way that naturally extends game mechanics into something tens of millions of people will absolutely love.
Ideally, you:
* Have worked as a software engineer before, ideally on a small team.
* Have built and shipped games before, either professionally or on your own time.
* Love games yourself, and have always wanted to work in the games industry.
* Know the web stack (TypeScript, React, etc) like the back of your hand
We’re stealth but backed by some of the top investors in Silicon Valley, including Floodgate and a16z SPEEDRUN. My previous startup was Human Interest (YC S15), a fintech co that today is valued at $1.3B. My intention is to outdo it many times over with Elsewhere. We’re building the the Blizzard, Valve, or Nintendo for the AI age. I hope you’ll consider joining us.

Hopefully it doesn't irritate you too much that in order to finish my answers I had to submit this twice.

For students or recent graduates, we have a few internship openings. We’re happy to train people who show strong interest and solid foundational skills.

Either 100% not hiring (they've been posting the same role for over two years now) or the post is a misdirect. I applied two years ago when it was "US remote, San Francisco/PST preferred" and was told I wasn't in the "target region" (I was in California), with no follow-up when asking for clarification. I've known associates who've applied since and they've gotten similar vague/odd rejections.
Company: We’re building smart collars and other devices to translate dogs into our language—using audio and motion data. We want to know what our dogs want and are on a mission to rethink the entire healthcare & training industries as we better understand them. We are mostly software people and have built our own models for dogs (soon expanding to my new cats).
Role: Hardware, firmware, and software. Moving fast will be a mix of LLM, research, hacks, and rapidly typing. Build fast, no hand-holding. First product’s a warm-up. After that, it gets real.
You: Full-stack in the real sense (hardware + firmware + software) Fast, independent, opinionated Move fast, care deeply Must have a dog Culture: Obsessed with dogs. We’re building the interface for interspecies communication. Not just “pet people”— we believe dogs are family members fully including legally (we can discuss the changes in law on our call).
Apply: Send us an email with your portfolio (or something similar) with a picture of you and your dog to hello@sarama.ai with subject “{Your dog’s name} likes {something they like}” and in the body include what this tech means to you.
