Demiurge Studios is an independent, bootstrapped video game development house. We've shipped games on all current-gen consoles and worked with some of the most notable developers in the industry on titles like Bioshock, Borderlands, Mass Effect, and Rock Band. From AAA console titles to iOS apps - we've done it. We recently shipped Shoot Many Robots - a quirky, 4-player run-n-gun labor of love, built from the ground up on our own tech.

Demiurge is located in the heart of Cambridge, Massachusetts, minutes away from downtown Boston. We are stable, employee-oriented, and employee-owned. We focused on quality of life and smart development practices - before it was cool to talk about it. We maintain a creative, energetic atmosphere where individual input matters. We offer competitive salaries, benefits, and sane working hours. Our resume speaks for itself, but it's our team that we're most proud of. Come join us!
