Office Coordinator & Game Playtester (Part-time)

Never Forget Games makes mobile games (hello, Midas Merge) built to spread a little joy. We’re a small crew of game-industry veterans who take our games very seriously and ourselves not at all.

We need someone who keeps a studio humming and genuinely loves casual mobile games, because playing ours is part of the job. You’ll keep the snacks stocked, the team week on schedule, and the test phones charged. And when a level drags or a button flat-out doesn’t work, you’re the one who tells us. Honestly.

Main quests

Play our games (yes, really)

• Play in-progress builds regularly and give us the honest truth: what’s fun, what’s confusing, and what makes you want to throw your phone.
• Hunt down bugs and write them up clearly enough that our engineers can make them happen again (and then make them go away).
• Wrangle our test phones and tablets: set them up, install playtest builds, and keep tabs on what’s where.

Keep the studio running

• Prepare and submit expense reports for the team, receipts and all.
• Own the kitchen: track snacks and drinks, place the monthly Costco order, and never let the coffee (or the water) run dry.
• Keep the studio tidy and organized. A cleaning crew handles the scrubbing; you make sure everything has a home and actually lives there.

Plan the fun

• Plan our team weeks a few months out: scout activities, build the schedule, and lock it on the calendar.
• Run the annual holiday party end to end, from booking a venue in the spring to picking out holiday gifts.
• Deck the studio halls for Halloween and the winter holidays.

A week in the life

Monday, you’re knocking out expense reports and placing the Costco order. Tuesday, you’re deep in a new build, writing up the bug that keeps eating your progress. Thursday, you’re at team lunch pitching ideas for the next team week. Some weeks lean admin, some lean play. All of them need someone who can switch modes without breaking a sweat.

Required stats

• You love casual mobile games and actually play them. (We’ll ask about your favorites, so come ready.)
• You’re at home on phones, tablets, and computers, and happy to pick up new tools like build installers and bug trackers.
• You’re organized and detail-obsessed, from receipts to supply lists.
• You notice when something’s off, whether it’s a glitchy level or an empty snack shelf.
• You write clearly and take initiative without needing a checklist for everything.

Bonus XP

• Office management, admin support, or event planning experience.
• Experience with expense software or Google Workspace.
• Any QA, beta testing, or playtesting experience. (Ever filed a bug report just for fun? Tell us.)

Schedule

• In the studio Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. These days are fixed.
• Typically 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. with an hour for lunch, for about 12 hours a week.
• Within those days, your hours can flex around appointments, pickups, classes, and the rest of life.

Want meaningful part-time work that fits around the rest of your life, whether that’s family, school, a side hustle, or all three? Hi. This is that job.

Loot

• Pay: $27–$32 per hour
• Team lunch every Thursday
• A fully stocked kitchen (you’ll know, because you stocked it)
• Team weeks, the holiday party (which, fine, you planned), and plenty of NFG swag

Send your resume and tell us two things: which mobile games you’re playing right now, and one thing you’d change about one of them. Be honest. That’s literally the job.
