Metalhead has been on a wild ride that’s included humble beginnings as a bootstrapped startup in 2009, three major game launches in 2014, 2018, and 2020, and an acquisition by Electronic Arts (EA) in 2021. Now, we’re teaming up with EA SPORTS to grow the Super Mega Baseball franchise, as well as develop new experiences for players worldwide.

The team at Metalhead comes from diverse backgrounds, unified by a passion to make original games. We've supported and inspired each other through the development and evolution of Super Mega Baseball and have built a fiercely loyal fanbase in the process. And we get to do it all from downtown Victoria, while partnering with the global EA SPORTS team.

Perhaps the biggest factor in your ultimate happiness at work is being surrounded by good people and having solid relationships with your coworkers. We’ve had extremely minimal turnover in our team over our first decade and believe that speaks volumes.

We were once a bootstrapped startup and are still a relatively small team today. It remains important for us to be adaptable as the demands of a project change over time. We want you to do your best work in your chosen discipline but also want to give you opportunities to explore areas outside your specialization.

While we have a number of industry veterans at the studio, a sizeable portion of our team started their game development career at Metalhead; we are very open to great people that haven’t yet had a chance to flex their skills in the game industry. We’re also not all sports fans – a big part of our creative process is channeling ideas from a diverse set of personal interests into our unique flavor of sports video game.

Humility: A modesty in our approach helps us be more open-minded about learning, better listeners, and more honest with ourselves on those difficult gut checks. 

Smarter not harder: We strive to build big things with small teams. That means being practical, modular, and focused on great tools. It means a collective awareness of ROI and decision-making criteria. Ultimately it means we spend our time on the things that make the biggest difference to our players.

Fun: Our job is to build fun. We believe that the joy that shines through in a finished game is very much a product of the joy that a team experienced building it. Work can’t always be fun but we try to enjoy the journey every chance we get.
