MMO Programmer
Goblinworks | Redmond WA 98052 USA | Full Time | Posted: 11/12/2012
Studio Profiletop
We are based in the Seattle suburb of Redmond. We commenced operations in mid-2012. We're growing, and we'll employ about 30 people by the end of 2013, doubling in 2014.
Our goal is to create a next-generation sandbox MMO that will focus on controlled growth and a very long customer lifecycle. We're not trying to beat World of Warcraft or make a billion dollars a year. We want to create a customer-centric business that is built to last.
We are seeking talented individuals with a can-do spirit, the kind of people who can see the vision and figure out the best way to get there, while building a strong team and a great company. MMOs are the hardest form of computer game to build and we know it. For that reason we're particularly interested in applicants who have worked on an MMO that was actually shipped and operated as a live game.
