The Company

Classic video games deserve better. At Digital Eclipse, we treat them with the same care and respect given to other artistic mediums. In its original incarnation in 1994, Digital Eclipse pioneered accurate video game re-releases, emulating vintage arcade games well before "emulation" was a household word. 30 years later, we've been reborn as a new kind of studio - one dedicated to not only restoring gaming's heritage, but to preserving it and keeping it alive and available for future generations.

We've launched critically acclaimed titles like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita's Rewind, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, while also developing successful original IPs like #IDARB and collaborating with industry leaders such as Capcom and Disney. And we're just getting started.

As a Senior Producer at Digital Eclipse, you'll play a key leadership role in shaping and shipping some of the studio's most exciting projects. In this role, you'll lead multiple game projects across internal and external teams, balancing priorities while driving schedules, quality, and delivery. You'll partner closely with cross-disciplinary leads and external development teams, provide guidance, and mentorship to producers, and help establish scalable best practices for remote production and co-development workflows.

  • Share learnings and production strategies with the broader team, fostering cross-discipline understanding and professional development studio-wide.
  • Collaborate with the Head of Production to contribute to early project planning-including scoping, resource planning, budgeting, and forecasting.
  • Drive the success of projects from pre-production to launch, ensuring strong communication, milestone tracking, and accountability at every phase.
