* Get your hands dirty as our artistic wizard – you will be an implementer as well as a manager
* Lead our art vision and direction
* Create concept art and all sorts of art assets as well
*Create a cohesive and distinct visual identity for our game that is appealing to both children and older
* Manage our art teams as we grow

You will bring on board:

* 5-10 years of experience and a proven track record in MMOs and multiplayer online games
* BA or higher in Art or equivalent
* Deep game industry knowledge
* Technical game knowledge to link up with our engineers
* Tons of passion for multiplayer games, education (especially for children), and creation of an amazing product
* A performance-driven personality with fast and enthusiastic communication skills
* Friendliness and humor!

What we offer:
* Our team so far contains some of the best minds in the industry
* The opportunity to join an exciting startup company at a very early stage with potential for explosive growth and great financial reward. We're all very excited about the idea we have and we know that it would make a huge difference in the world.
* A fast-paced startup environment with hard work and high reward!
* You’d be developing an exciting MMO with real social and learning value
* A super fun job and working atmosphere

Our studio will be located in the Bay Area and you would be working full time in our office.
