Financial Data Engineer Remote Jobs in Nevada (NOW HIRING)

PM Studios is a globally recognized video game developer and publisher founded in 2008. For over a decade, we've delivered technical, design, and artistic leadership across the gaming industry, producing iconic titles that have resonated with generations of players worldwide.

At PM Studios, people come first. We hire exceptional talent and empower them with the tools, autonomy, and support needed to do their best work. Our culture is rooted in integrity, innovation, and action—we believe in giving before we receive and transforming inspiration into meaningful impact.

As we continue to grow and expand our portfolio, we are seeking a detail-oriented and driven Controller to join our Las Vegas team.

About the Role

As PM Studios continues to scale its portfolio of games and publishing partnerships, we are looking for a Controller who is as comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment as they are in the details of a balance sheet.

Reporting directly to the CFO, you will own the full accounting function across our portfolio of gaming and entertainment entities. You'll be the financial backbone of the organization, partnering closely with development, publishing, and operations teams to bring financial clarity to a business that moves at the speed of the games industry. If you've ever wanted to be the person who helps a creative company grow up financially without losing its edge, this is that role.
