Life at EK
Most people think a game is born when parent games love each other very much. LIES! A game starts as an idea in someone’s head before it eventually becomes a box on a shelf. Through that journey, a ton of very talented people have a hand in shaping its creation. That includes much more than just our game designers.
The people of Exploding Kittens, in their various roles, all bring key features to the business to ensure we make games that are not only entertaining but make everyone who plays them entertaining. Some folks, such as our game developers, artists, and illustrators, make up the creative side of our business. Then, we have the folks keeping us organized and operational, including those on our project management, production and logistics teams. And we can't forget about our marketers, sales, eCommerce and customer service teams that launch our games into explosive visuals and land them in your convenient neighborhood store.
Last, but certainly not least, Exploding Kittens would not function without the support of finance, IT and people operations. Together we form a business filled with laughs, TacoCats and a common desire to make the very best games out there.

“Work is exciting because no two days are alike. I’ve had meetings where I get to brainstorm with other designers where we’ve spent an hour trying different ways to throw a burrito. I never quite know what I’m going to be doing next and I love it.”
“We’re the rare place where personality hires actually perform – and it shows”
"I fell in love with the humour EK puts into the cartoons in the cards and the visuals. But I really got passionate about it once I searched about EK online and learned about it's history and founders. I applied to EK soon after that!"
“I love working at Exploding Kittens because of the team culture here - despite working on the game design team, I am constantly interacting with and working together with nearly every other department, which not only keeps every day fresh and exciting, but also means I’m learning something new every day.”
“My experience working at Exploding Kittens can be summarized by saying it is like being on a team with motivated, well selected people at all levels who have remarkable expertise in their roles and who understand that we all succeed together…It really is so affirming and I am grateful to be counted among this group.”
"I love the diversity curated by our recruiting team. We truly have people from all walks of life which cultivates an exciting work environment. I also love watching the creative process of game development and being able to participate and input ideas for our new games!"
“My friends and family have played [EK] for ten years and it has always been a staple in our game nights. When I heard there was a job opening, I was honestly mind-blown. The chance to work at a company I already loved felt like a dream opportunity coming to life.”
