Work With Us
At Beta Bugs we believe in Team and Clear Communication
These two tenets underpin what we build, and without either, we cannot develop and distribute our breeds whilst accelerating our sector’s growth.
Our Aim
What we're building
We’re building a space station, a deep-sea city, a castle atop a mountain. Permanent, enduring presence in our sector, at the next frontier of animal genetics.
To build at this next frontier, we’re looking for the cosmonauts, deep-sea divers, and mountaineers that seek to join and work with us at the bleeding edge of our rapidly developing industry.
