We bring our true and best selves everyday.

We strive for everyone to feel represented in our work, games and brand.

Great ideas come from any one of us. Great games come from teamwork.

We approach all things as possible and embrace opportunities to grow.

Development Director

“I feel like I belong at Maxis because Maxis really embodies a people-first mentality. It goes beyond just platitudes on a wall or in a presentation to the way that we live, breathe, and act every day.”

Principal Art Director

“Before The Sims, I worked on a variety of games where the primary verb was ‘kill.’ Kill your opponent, kill the monster, kill the beast. But here at Maxis, for the first time, the primary verb for what we do is ‘create.’ It’s a world of difference.”

Senior Game Designer

“I hear, all the time, stories about young LGBTQI+ kids who see themselves reflected for the very first time in The Sims, and through that, they realize who they are is normal, that who they are is fine, and that everything will be okay. And that is really powerful to me.”

VP Creative

“I personally have always wanted to make people smile and laugh and be excited and just feel better about their day.”

Development Director

“What we do here matters to me because it matters to all the people out there who didn’t see themselves represented in games or media before and now have the chance to just explore lifestyle, explore themselves. And that matters to the team. Working on a product that’s beloved is wonderful. Working on one that’s beloved and able to enrich the world? That matters a lot to me.”

Technical Director

“A designer workflow is one of the top razors to make sure that designers feel happy. Happy designers always yield better features, player experiences, and player expectations. That’s what keeps the role interesting.”

Character Artist

“We’re inclusive in the real sense of the word. The tapestry of individuals that makes up our team is a collection of different life experiences and perspectives, and I think that comes through in our games.”

Senior Quality Analyst

“On day one, I could be investigating an issue where the Grim Reaper is inviting your Sim to his party. On another day, I could be tracking down an issue where Sims can no longer become pregnant (this required a lot of WooHooing :)).”

Designer

“Working as a designer at Maxis means that I get to spend every day surrounded by great people, tackling unique challenges, and bringing creative joy to millions of players. It’s a delight! I sincerely mean that. Coming to work is delightful.”

Animation Director

“The people of Maxis make working here such a unique, fun, and rewarding experience. No matter the creative challenge, we come together as a team to innovate and problem solve.”
