Working at Social Graph Studios
We have millions of users but only a tiny engineering team. How do we do it? Simple – We only hire the best of the best, and we only hire people we like. We believe that work should be challenging and engaging, but most of all, it should be fun.
The work environment at Social Graph Studios is extremely informal, and the work day flexible. Our management structure is flat, and we look for people who allow us to maintain it that way.
