Emhance builds emotion AI for mobile game studios. The platform analyzes hundreds of facial signals
captured through a player's device camera during gameplay to surface moments of frustration,
concentration, and delight, then maps those emotional responses to specific in-game events —
revealing why players actually quit in ways that traditional play testing and surveys can't. Emhance's
customers, including game designers, user researchers, marketers, and studio executives, have used
these insights to meaningfully improve player retention, ad revenue, and conversion. Emhance works
with player-obsessed studios who want to understand their players scientifically, not just anecdotally.

Emhange is hiring a Controller to own the company's accounting function end to end. This is a hands-on,

the cash position, and the monthly reporting package, and you'll be the person leadership, the board,

the budget and rolling forecast.
