About CaptureAge

CaptureAge is a company that grew out of the Age of Empires community and is now partnered with Microsoft / XBox Game Studios to provide game development services in AAA titles like Age of Empires II and Age of Empires IV.

We are looking for people to join us who share our passion for one or both of these titles.


Hours / Time Management

We have a flexible approach to time-management and we believe in giving team members the opportunity to control their own schedules.

We'd like to see a world in which work can fit around your life, not the other way around In practice this generally means a few pre-agreed sync points a week, with the rest of your working time entirely up to you.

Async Biased

As a company spanning many time zones we naturally tend towards async working arrangements and design our processes and working environment with this in mind.

Consensus Driven
We try to foster a genuinely collaborative and consensus driven approach to work rather than top-down direction and micro-management.
