Careers
This public portal is for new applicants. Current contributors and staff should use the internal workspace.
The portal keeps application status, interview timing, Discord access, paperwork, and onboarding in one place.
Application
Step 1
Interview
Step 2
Onboarding handoff
Step 3
Stage 1
Submit intake, create your applicant account, and add work links later if needed.
Stage 2
If the first pass is strong, the hiring team assigns the first interview and gives direction for the correction pass.
Stage 3
Stage 3 opens onboarding, paperwork, and internal-workspace preparation if the applicant is approved.
Open roles accept full intake. Full roles move to waitlist so nobody is applying into dead slots.
This is the applicant-safe version of how the studio runs production work so you understand the model before joining.
Applicant screening is not paid production work. It helps the hiring team judge fit, direction handling, reliability, and whether the studio model is right for both sides.
The studio runs as a project-based production network, not a clock-in marketplace. Approved production work turns into tracked contribution value, and project payout happens later through the residual system.
Blacksyte work is valued before it starts. The platform records scope, expected effort, pay band, and difficulty signals up front so contributors are not negotiating value after delivery.
Expand only the roles you care about. The board stays readable even as the role list grows.
A'Dante Martinez
Martinez (Male, early 20s) Martinez is guarded, intelligent, and emotionally restrained. He carries a constant awareness that he is being watched, but he is not irrational or delusional. He is tense because he has reason to be tense. He often sounds like someone trying very hard not to lose control. His anger is usually controlled, quiet, and sharp — until the pressure becomes too much and it cracks. Martinez should feel grounded, natural, and psychologically pressured. He is not trying to sound cool, edgy, or intimidating. His danger comes from fear, intelligence, and control under pressure.

Delilah Kane
Delilah (Female, 20s) Delilah Kane is sharp, grounded, observant, and emotionally honest. She has seen the damage caused by the systems around her, and she is no longer willing to stay quiet just to keep other people comfortable. Delilah is not reckless or naïve. Her anger comes from grief, experience, and the feeling that everyone around her is pretending something terrible is normal. She should feel human, direct, and emotionally present. She is not a dramatic rebel stereotype. She is someone who has been personally hurt and is trying to make people face the truth.

James Byzantine
James Byzantine is intelligent, composed, sharp, and politically aware. He knows how to survive in rooms filled with powerful people by choosing his words carefully and never showing too much too quickly. James is not loud or reckless. He is controlled, observant, and often hides concern behind dry restraint. He can sound calm on the surface while clearly understanding that something dangerous is happening underneath. He should feel grounded, clever, and cautious. His tension comes from knowing more than he is comfortable saying out loud.

Michael Boare
Michael Boare is confident, forceful, charismatic, and politically sharp. He presents himself like a leader who knows exactly what he is doing, even when the pressure underneath is starting to show. Boare is not calm in the same way Cicero is. His control is louder, more physical, and more performative. He knows how to command a room, rally people, and make hard decisions sound necessary. He should feel powerful, persuasive, and dangerous when challenged. He is not a cartoon politician or a generic dictator. His strength comes from conviction, ego, charisma, and the belief that action matters more than hesitation.

Tobias Rieper
Tobias (Male, 30s–40s) Tobias Rieper is disciplined, observant, and controlled. He carries himself like someone trained to stay calm under pressure, but that does not mean he is emotionless. He feels deeply — he just does not let people see it easily. Tobias is cautious, intelligent, and suspicious by nature. He notices small details, reads people carefully, and does not trust easily. His strength comes from restraint, focus, and quiet intensity. He should feel grounded, serious, and internally conflicted. Tobias is not reckless, loud, or overly dramatic. He is the kind of person who holds tension in his body and voice until the pressure finally forces something out.

Viktor Novicofck
Viktor (Male, 50s) Viktor Novicofck is calm, loyal, observant, and difficult to read. He serves close to power and understands far more than he says out loud. He is not loud, flashy, or reckless. His presence should feel controlled and deliberate. Viktor is respectful on the surface, especially toward Cicero, but there should always be weight behind his words. He is a man who has seen enough to know when silence is safer than honesty. He should feel grounded, professional, and quietly burdened. His loyalty is not simple obedience — it comes with history, fear, calculation, and restraint.

Do not see your role?
If your exact craft is not on the board, you do not have to guess. Use the contributor request lane to describe your role in plain language, and the team can map it into the system later.
Some tasks are relaxed, some are time-sensitive, and some are production-critical. The workspace factors that pressure into future momentum without letting contributors set their own urgency.
Residual pools are split by approved contribution share. The platform compares approved contribution value across the project and uses that share when a payout pool is ready.
The best way to succeed here is not trying to game the system. The studio cares about direction handling, finish quality, consistency, and whether you can deliver reliable work inside a brief.
The public answers live here so applicants do not have to guess how the process works.
No. Fresh candidates can apply with any email they actively use. If you are later hired into the internal workspace, that same identity can carry forward.
You enter Stage 1 first: applicant packet, resume, portfolio, and the role application review. If that pass is strong, the hiring team moves you into Stage 2 for the first interview and direction. Stage 3 is a second interview to review the interview review and decide whether onboarding can begin.
Yes. Full roles route into a light waitlist instead of a dead application. When that role opens again, your shared applicant login will show the next step in the portal.
The portal uses Google Drive links for application reviews, correction tasks, and signed paperwork, so you stay in one workflow without needing file uploads on-site.
No. We care more about fit, skill ceiling, and how you respond to direction than a perfect resume.
