Company Description
Nitro Studios builds and operates original games within Fortnite’s UGC ecosystem, focusing on fast-paced, highly replayable experiences.
In its first year, the studio shipped 12 games and reached over 22 million plays, 9 million unique players, and 450 million minutes played, making it one of the top Fortnite creators worldwide without paid user acquisition.
Founded in 2026 in Tel Aviv and fully bootstrapped, Nitro Studios is already profitable and continues to grow.
The founders bring deep audience insight from their background in gaming content and YouTube channels with large followings, treating player understanding as a core design constraint from thumbnail to first-session experience.
The team works in short, iterative loops, continuously updating games with new content, events, and balance changes based on live data.
Role Description
The Game Developer will design, implement, and iterate on game features and systems for Fortnite UGC titles, collaborating closely with game designers, artists, and data analysts.
Day-to-day tasks include gameplay development, building core mechanics, optimizing performance, and ensuring smooth, bug-free player experiences.
The role involves rapid prototyping, responding to player data, and shipping frequent updates, events, and balance passes across multiple live games.
This is a full-time, on-site position based in the Tel Aviv District, Israel, working closely with the team to deliver high-impact releases on tight iteration cycles.

• High attention to detail and unwillingness to settle for “good enough”
• Positive, friendly, humble, and enjoyable to work with
• Strong sense of ownership and responsibility
• Comfortable working independently and figuring things out without constant guidance

Nice to Have

• Experience with modern AI-assisted development tools
• Understanding of live games, progression systems, retention, or player engagement

Previous professional game development experience is a strong advantage, but it is not mandatory.
We care much more about how quickly you learn, how much ownership you take, your attitude, and your ability to turn ideas into great player experiences.
