Here at Uken, we build fun social and mobile games that make people stare, smile, jump, and feel awesome inside.

We have a quirky nerdy culture that fosters creativity, collaboration, quality ideas, and a data driven mindset. We believe in moving quickly and improving constantly and that mantra is reflected in the weekly updates we make to our games and internal technologies. We have an appetite for pushing technical boundaries and we’ve done exactly that with HTML5. We work on products that are used by millions of people everywhere and we’re just getting started.

To make our games delight users around the world, there is obviously a lot of game design, production, and development work. Under the hood, we build a lot of internal tools and services which make the process of building games much easier and faster. We're constantly looking for brilliant people who share our passions to come build amazing products with us. If you ever get a chance, drop by and say hi. Our office is fun and hacker friendly, filled with collaborative meeting spaces, lots of big monitors, catered breakfast and lunch daily, smoothies, fresh fruit, and foosball!
