Technical Requirements
Key Responsibilities
General Requirements
Why you will love working for Icejam:
Access to the Corporate Starbucks Card:
Don’t tell Stu, but there is a corporate Starbucks card, and someone lucky gets to do the Starbucks run every Friday morning so you can get that frou-frou hit of grande, low fat, no whip, no foam, half shot of vanilla sugar free hot chocolate. (Its just across the street)
Beach Days / Summer hours:
Ok – so everyday is not a good beach day. We know that. But when we get a good beach day, we take advantage of it. That’s why we flex our hours to let you meet the demands of your own schedule, even if that’s just getting to the beach on time!
We have a kitchen, so there has to be some free food, right?
Fresh fruit and treats mysteriously appear in this kitchen. There must be a house elf somewhere.
Health and Wellness:
With all of the fresh air around here nobody ever gets sick, but just in case we offer a full benefit plan – medical, dental and vision. We even have a deal at a local gym for you.
Competitive Salary:
We all love what we do here, making great games and having fun is part of the culture. But we get paid well too with competitive salaries and benefits.
A Chance to Make a Difference:
We are a small team, focused on changing the way the world looks at free to play mobile games. With us, you will be able to help shape that vision and build the next generation of games.
