We’re Lockwood Publishing, leading independent developers and creators of Avakin Life. Founded by Joel Kemp and Halli Bjornsson in 2009, we began as a PlayStation developer and have evolved to become one the UK’s top mobile games developers. During our time at PlayStation Home, we were voted Best Community Developer six years in a row – a rewarding recognition from our users. Since then, we’ve grown organically, with our downloads and profits rapidly increasing month-on-month.
Our aim is to become the biggest social and mobile gaming company around – you can help. We’re looking for senior-level individuals to join our team in growing Avakin, developing UGC, and expanding onto multiple platforms. Our Headquarters are based in a comfortable, serviced office in central Nottingham. We appreciate a good work-life balance, so as well as flexible working hours, there’s a bar below our office to socialise with the team and unwind.
