Sr. programmers will be expected to document project requirements to task and durations, even analyze detailed problems and implement creative solutions.

We appreciate ability to work with less experienced programmers and coach them so they can likewise grow in their skills and proficiencies (cross-training is a big part of our culture). They should also be leaders in problem solving in all areas of multimedia solutions, and excellent in communication skills in all areas of progress / task reporting.
Most of our games involve ambitious mechanics that call for strong math skills, physics, and familarity with 3D engine rendering techniques. Flash has so many ways to optimize with various industry techniques and workarounds that allow the game to perform well even on lower end machines... if you’ve worked through these aspects as well, you will be ideally suited for what we’re looking to build.
Whether you’re on-site in our Aliso Viejo, CA location or part of the virtual team, you will need to be a true team player, and able to work well improvise with others internationally.
