   401(k) with matching and various medical plans. We pay 100% of the cost of premiums for dental, vision, disability, and life insurance for our employees. We also cover a really nice chunk of the cost of premiums for spouse/partner/dependent medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  </li>
  <li>
   Flexible work schedule and environment. Currently, our employees are encouraged to work where they feel the safest and most productive. Our office in Lincoln Park in Chicago is open (and fully stocked with snacks) for folks who prefer to work in the office. We also offer remote work in the following states: California, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, Vermont, Washington, and Wisconsin
  </li>
  <li>
   Flexible PTO. Take time off when you need to recharge, take a trip, or just catch up on life

  <li>
   Annual stipends for therapy, growth, wellness, and home office equipment to encourage our employees' lifelong learning pursuits and support mental and physical health
  </li>
  <li>
   Creative work environment. We are lucky to work in a place that is full of talented and innovative folks. Most of the day, the place is pretty quiet (we're a focused bunch), but this is punctuated with hilarious outbursts and general merriment
  </li>
  <li>
   Free food either virtually or in the office. We stock our kitchen with snacks as well as offer doordash credits quite frequently
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 <strong>
  Interested?
  <br/>
  <br/>
 </strong>
 Great, we look forward to reading your application. Please include:
 <br/>
 <br/>
 <ul>
  <li>
   Your resume
  </li>
  <li>
   A cover letter. You don't need to be a professional writer for this job (we have those) but communication is important so we weigh cover letters heavily. We would love to hear a bit about why you are interested in working at Jackbox Games
  </li>
  <li>
   Links to your professional work. *(personal website/portfolio, Art station linked to your work, Vimeo or equivalent. )
   <br/>
   <br/>
  </li>
 </ul>
 Notice something that doesn't quite make sense--great. We want artists that think critically and understand the nuances of job postings in this day and age.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 On the fence? If you're interested in the job but worried you aren't qualified, we encourage you to err on the side of applying. We'd hate to miss out on great candidates just because they're worried they don't check every box on the job description.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 We know it is a time commitment to prepare an application and we respect that effort by thoughtfully reviewing every complete application and responding one way or the other. But that kind of thoughtful review means that it sometimes takes us a while to get back to applicants, so please be patient with us and no phone calls.
 <br/>
 <br/>
 Thanks for your interest in Jackbox Games!
