Voluntary Contributor Notice

OpenWorlds is built as a community-driven UGC game platform in active development.

All positions listed within the Careers Portal are voluntary contributor roles.

By applying for a position, applicants are choosing to take part in building and shaping OpenWorlds because they are interested in contributing to the platform, its systems, and its community.

These roles are not traditional employment positions and do not include salaries, wages, or employment contracts.

Instead, OpenWorlds contributors join out of interest in collaboration, creativity, and participation in building a large-scale game platform.
