The index covers 15 game roles across engineering, art, design, production, XR, QA and esports technology, drawn from a specialist bench. You can hire a single Technical Artist for a month or combine roles into a co-development, porting or LiveOps squad with one lead and one invoice.

We match each claimed credit against store listings, in-game credit rolls and references from producers or leads who worked on the title. Only verified, commercially released titles count toward the shipped-credit number on a profile. Unverified credits are not shown to clients.

Esports & Broadcast Technology Engineers build tournament platforms, broadcast overlays and real-time stats pipelines, integrate game APIs and observer tools, and run low-latency streaming for live events.

Game roles are priced per practice and level, on the same Mid, Senior and Lead ladder as other practices, with each seat shown on its own line. Game Producer is offered at Senior and Lead only. Studio-specific needs such as locked-down devices are quoted transparently, and engine licences remain the studio’s cost.
