Wolfjaw Studios remote jobs and company guide

It all began with a dinner conversation at TwitchCon in 2018. Mitchell Patterson, the founder, and Tom Carmona, who would become employee number two, were discussing a glaring gap in the gaming industry: the need for a quality co-development studio dedicated specifically to backend game design and infrastructure. They realized that while many studios excelled at creating immersive worlds and gameplay, the complex, invisible systems that powered online experiences—matchmaking, player accounts, and server orchestration—were often an afterthought or a burden.

From that spark, Wolfjaw Studios was born in Troy, New York. But Patterson and his team didn't just want to build better backends; they wanted to build a better place to work. In an industry notorious for 'crunch' culture, Wolfjaw set out to be different, establishing a remote-first studio that prioritized work-life balance above all else—no nights, no weekends, no crunch.

Today, Wolfjaw Studios has grown into a pack of over 60 developers, trusted by industry titans like Riot Games, Bungie, and 2K to power some of the most popular multiplayer games in the world. What started as a solution to a technical problem has evolved into a thriving studio that proves you can build world-class technology while treating your team with respect and empathy.
