About Midoki

We are an award wining mobile game development studio based in Warwickshire, the heart of the English countryside. Founded by a small team of veteran game developers in late 2011, our focus is the creation of ground-breaking, socially-connected games that deliver rich entertaining experiences to the mobile space. Midoki collaborated in SEGA Hardlight's Crazy taxi: City Rush, and has developed the award-winning games Plunder Pirates and Knighthood.

As a Senior Producer at Midoki, you'll be at the forefront of planning and organising our projects, playing a pivotal role in defining and delivering ongoing releases. Your focus will be on ensuring that each release is on budget and maintains our high standards of quality.

When challenges arise, you'll escalate issues as needed, keeping the project on track.

Building and maintaining strong relationships will be a significant part of your day. You'll ensure effective communication and collaboration with our associated Publisher and any external clients, aligning their expectations with our project goals.
