Hive Games is a UK-based game studio providing development services and creating interactive content for well-established games.
We operate The Hive, the largest Minecraft: Bedrock Edition server, delivering a constantly evolving multiplayer experience to millions of players. Alongside this, we work closely with Microsoft as a vendor, contributing to the Minecraft franchise through projects like Chunker World Converter. We’re also developing SkyBlock: Horizons, an ambitious open-world MMORPG coming to Minecraft: Bedrock Edition.
We don’t have fixed start dates for our roles—our approach is to bring in talented people when the right opportunity aligns. If you’re a great fit, we’ll look at making room rather than waiting for a specific need to arise. So if you're interested, we encourage you to apply regardless of when the listing was originally posted.
