Job Description
Senior Producer

Joydrop, entertains people with sparklingly new video gaming experiences.
Founded in 2012 and based in London, Ontario, Mikutech possesses the creativity and passion to conceive and construct
products that result in unmistakable impacts in medicine, education, or engineering. Mikutech, with know-how in
everything from business apps to virtual reality, can make it happen. We also make our own games under the label
Joydrop.
Mikutech is comprised of a carefully vetted group of veteran developers, kept fresh by an ardent team of software and
media youngsters. Collectively, we’ve been doing this ever since personal computers have been bleeping and blooping
out ASCII characters on green and white monitors.
