In 2022, Take-Two Interactive acquired Zynga, making it part of the Take-Two family of studios.

For International Professionals

  • The current open roles are based in Barcelona, which is a major gaming and tech scene in Europe.
  • Zynga offers modern benefits packages, health insurance, and often a relocation package for foreign talent, though specific benefits vary by role.
  • Spain's visa and relocation process is streamlined for senior professionals and tech talent; as part of an international company, Zynga is familiar with assisting employees with the sponsorship and relocation process.
  • Work is primarily English-speaking internally due to the international nature of the team, so Spanish fluency is often not required for these roles.
  • The Barcelona office offers a Mediterranean lifestyle, international environment, and is part of a larger gaming community with events like Barcelona Games World.
