Every great hero needs a sidekick: someone holding the line, providing the right tools and making sure the main character wins the day. That is exactly who we aim to be for our developers. 

Born out of INSTINCT3, a creative and creator-focused agency, Sidekick is part of a wider group shaped by games, creators, content and internet culture. We care about the craft, value creative curiosity and clear viewpoints, but never lose sight of the focus and discipline needed to make things happen. 

Our portfolio focuses on games that do not just play well, but naturally captivate communities, creators and shared audiences.

How We Work

Every role at Sidekick has its own flavor, but there are a few things we generally look for in everyone joining the team: 

• Games & Commercial Curiosity: You care about games beyond a single genre and are curious about why certain mechanics, communities and commercial strategies work. 
• Constructive Curiosity: You ask useful questions, challenge processes when needed and bring practical ideas for how we can work better. 
• Ownership: You think ahead, communicate clearly and keep things moving. We give people a lot of trust and expect them to use it responsibly. 
• The Berlin Connection: You do not need to live in Berlin, but you should be able to join us at our office in Spandau every few months. Most of the day-to-day work can happen remotely, but we still value regular in-person time with the team. 
• English First: Most of our daily communication with developers, partners and platforms is in English. German is a welcome bonus, but not required.
