NO AGENCIES OR EXTERNAL RECRUITERS

We're not here to build just another game. We're here to redefine what people believe is possible in XR.

At Sinn Studio, we’re a startup first. That means speed, ownership, and big ideas. We’re here to shape the future of XR, not follow trends, but define them.

We’re building for spatial computing, a technological shift as big as the smartphone, maybe bigger. That means there’s no room for passengers. Everyone here matters. Every decision compounds. Every contribution moves the needle.

Our values aren’t buzzwords, they’re the standard: Player First. Initiative. Accountability. Passion. Agility. Transparency. We don’t micromanage. We expect you to own your role, challenge common truths, and push the work and yourself, further than you thought possible.

If you want to make history, let’s talk.
