R16 Interactive is a lean, high-caliber team building Tale’s Edge, a gritty action-adventure RPG set in a shared universe of dark, reimagined Grimm’s fairy tales. We’re part of the AA resurgence: grasping AAA polish while executing lean and in the open as an independent studio. We value hunger, bold ideas, and the grit it takes to make a game worth playing.
The Role:
We need a programmer who can move across gameplay systems without friction — tackling 3Cs, quest logic, combat tweaks, or UI polish with equal precision. Someone who loves challenges and collaborating with sharp-minded teams.

Additional Details
Founder-run AA-studio. We don’t chase trends. We build worlds we actually want to play in. Our first game, Tale’s Edge, is a brutal, beautiful action RPG where fairy tales bite back. Dark. Grounded. Designed in the open.
Orphaned after a grim twist of fate, a teenage Red Riding Hood has been raised by the huntsman who rescued her 8 years earlier, honing her skills in the unforgiving wilds. When her mentor mysteriously vanishes, she sets off on a dangerous journey to find him, venturing into a realm of shared fairy tales twisted together into a compelling journey fraught with peril.
Tale’s Edge is a third-person action-adventure RPG that combines dynamic parkour with strategic combat, allowing you to approach challenges with cunning, stealth or force. Every decision, from mercy to destruction, shapes Red’s evolution and the future of a dark, ever-shifting world inspired by the original, gritty fables from history.
We’ve been lucky to have some incredible jobs working at and partnering with some of the biggest brands in video games.
But we’ve never had more fun and been more fulfilled than when we were working with indie game developers.
Everyone in games should have that much fun.
Our hope is that Work With Indies will connect job seekers with the most rewarding, most inspirational, and most fun jobs they've ever had.
