Your Responsibilities:

• You will work with other domain owners to integrate and develop technologies into the game
• Technical oversight of your team members' contributions.
• Share domain knowledge and mentor engineers within their team.

Regardless of your specialization, a few things we're always looking for:

• Passion. You love programming and are always looking to learn more and hone your craft. 
• Excel in a team environment. You look for help when you're stuck and you want to help your teammates when they need it.
• Experience managing your time. You know when to go deeper on a task versus recognizing that it's time to get 'er done and move on to the next thing. Quality is important, but so is speed!
• Projects you've worked on in the past (personal or professional) got finished, and got finished...and it had a lot to do with you.
