Always Hiring Great People...

Looking for a great Casual Games Programmer.....

We are looking for a jack of all trades game and web programmer who can single handedly manage a large variety of small sized game projects. This person would work on a series of cool games for a number of platforms as part of a small team. This might include being the sole coder. You must have experience coding multiple game projects, and ideally you have been the sole contributor on a number of small or medium sized games. You should be familiar with graphics, sound, gameplay programming, resource management etc. You should have worked on a number of platforms, including both some embedded platforms (handhelds, mobile etc.) and some network based platforms (the web etc.) and in a number of different programming environments and languages. We would like someone who is very fast, smart, flexible, and able to pick up new systems, languages, and machines very rapidly. You should love playing and making games! Why make them if you don’t love them?

We are looking for someone full time, starting as a contractor, but if things go well we see this leading to either full time employment or long term contracting.

• Be lead or co-lead on a number of different game and web projects
• Work with world class game talent
• Work with artists and integrate their output into the product
• Design and implement all aspects of small embedded and network based games
• Be self-motivated and driven to create, improve, and release the best possible products in a rapid timeframe.

Requirements & Education
• Strong Knowledge and experience of either/both the web world (HTML, CSS, XML and Javascript, Flash) or the some kind of serious embedded gaming system (mobile, handheld etc.). Experience with game play programming on a larger (console, PC etc.) game project would be fine as well.
• Familiarity with at least one back end scripting language (Python, Ruby, PHP) a major plus
• Familiarity and experience with ActionScipt 3.0 a major plus
• Familiarity with Max OS X, iPhone, or windows programming a major plus
