Lead Game Developer

You're a driven leader in casual games, with a keen eye for what a polished consumer web and gaming experience should require, and a desire to experiment with new forms of game design. We're fully funded, ambitious, and looking for outside-of-the-box engineers to design and build new forms of multiplayer web-based music gameplay. This is a role partly as a creative team lead, partly as engineer, all start-up drive. If you are a born leader but still like to get your hands dirty, you're reading the right job spec. You'll be leading the gameplay engineers and being versatile enough to code in Actionscript 3, Java, and some Python, while huddling with the rest of our tight team on iterative deadlines to build wonderful things.

A love of startups, music, games, and wonderfully constructed interactive experiences are a big plus. Experience with C-style languages, AS3, and experience with shipping entertainment products (interactive websites, games, etc) will be key.

Are social networks really that social?
Are emoticons and pixellated panties the stuff that true friendships are made of? The activities and experiences that we share are what bind us together. When spending time together online is as fun as a night of clubbing or as intense as a great jam session, then social networks will truly be social.

What do you play?
the drums? dress up? hoops? scrabble? pranks? a level 23 videogamer. Its about identity, challenge, cooperation, and self-expression. Its diverse and its universal. Its whimsical. Games don't need to be more casual, they need to be more playful.

We are seeking sharp, visionary people in all circles, so even if you don’t see a position that fits you, tell us your story. If you enjoy an ambitious, independent, innovative environment focused on a new generation of online social entertainment, we’d love to hear from you.
