We’re looking for a senior Technical Director and Lead Engineer – you would wear several hats in our startup, but your main job would be setting the architecture for our game, coding it, and managing our technical direction as we grow.

You should have substantial prior experience in game studios working on the engineering, technical, and code development aspects of multiplayer online games. You’d help to create our games as well as assemble and manage a top-quality development team. Our games have a strong focus on innovative learning, so you’d be able to make a direct and real impact on children’s lives as well!

Responsibilities:

* Serve as our technology wizard
* Lead our technical direction and game architecture
* Set our code standards and determine which technologies we use
* Code and maintain libraries
* Manage our engineering teams as we grow

You will bring on board:
* Amazing and proven abilities with C++ game development and architecture, and Flash experience is a bonus
* 5-10 years of experience and a proven track record in developing and shipping MMOs and multiplayer online games
* BS or higher in Computer Science or equivalent
* Deep game industry knowledge and technology expertise
* A readiness to dive in and get your hands dirty with coding
* 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.
