iOS/Android Developer for Real-World Location-Based Games

adrianhon — Thu, 19 Jul 2012 06:38:39 -0800

We're developers and co-creators of Zombies, Run!, a running game and audio adventure that melds GPS and accelerometer data with an epic story and fantastic gameplay. With over 100,000+ sales on iOS, Android, and Windows Phone and a pricetag of $7.99, it's the most successful smartphone fitness game in the world. We want developers who can help make Zombies, Run! even better by using the latest software and hardware features in iOS and Android - and who can help think up entirely new game concepts that use smartphones and other wearable devices and computers in novel ways. In other words, we want your help to make the games of the future. What's working at Six to Start like?

You get to talk directly to everyone who makes the game - we're a small team of six right now, and decisions get made quickly.
You get the hardware and software you need; we're an Apple shop and everyone has an extra display.
We're flexible on hours and on occasionally working from home. We've got a laid-back atmosphere - we have an hour for lunch and we regularly go out on funded lunches, dinners, cinema trips, and more.
You get real responsibility and public credit for the work we do. We're regularly invited to speak at conferences around the world and it's important that our developers take advantage of these opportunities.

Requirements:

We need you to show us something you have coded. It doesn’t need to be a game, it doesn’t need to have graphics, it doesn’t even have to have zombies, it just needs to be interesting.
You're able to work from our office in South London (shortly moving to North London)
You’re flexible in your habits and what you’re willing to learn; we’re an indie developer and everyone’s job can be very fluid. If you aren’t comfortable with that, this is not the place for you. But if you like trying out new things and learning very quickly, it is.
Being friendly and approachable!
An interest in games and game design, and a tenacious approach to problem-solving.

Nice-to-haves include:

1+ year experience of Android or iOS development
Experience in a related field (e.g. web development, UI/UX design, sound engineering, Android development, hardware hacking, etc.)
Experience adapting or ‘porting’ games or apps from one platform to another

Before we made Zombies, Run!, we didn't have any iOS or Android experience - we taught ourselves in the process (we were web devs with previous experience in Python and C). Our philosophy is that good developers are able to learn new languages quickly - that's why we don't require iOS or Android experience for this job, and why we welcome developers who have an equally strong passion for learning. About Six to Start Six to Start creates games and interactive experiences for smartphones, the web, and the real world. We've won a whole host of awards including SXSW Best of Show and Best Game, and before making Zombies, Run!, we worked on major projects for the BBC, Channel 4, Disney Imagineering (the guys who make all the insanely cool stuff), Microsoft, and the British Museum. We're profitable, bootstrapped, and expanding rapidly. No need to worry about funding here. We're offering a competitive salary and the chance to make games that will be remembered by hundreds of thousands of people decades from now.

Software Engineer (Sr., Jr., Whatevs)

I work for a cool company. I want to share this space with a clever MeFite. We work at the San Francisco outpost of our e-commerce mothership back in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Despite having midwestern origins, our office culture is very west coast. On any given day a small handful of folks show up, make things together, become friends then go home -- leaving the typical politics, stress and overwork up to the folks back east. My coworkers are smart, humble, exceedingly competent and some of my closest friends. We're not a clique, none are hipsters and all have a smashing sense of humor and charm. Our engineers aren't shoved off into a dark hole to churn out software like typing monkeys. On the other hand, none of them are Jeebus or regarded as such. We don't feed egos, nor do we coddle the introverted. The pay is great, widely negotiable. The benefits are astounding, including quarterly profit bonuses and a health plan that'd render Michael Moore speechless. Our vacation days total in around 16/year for new hires, but we also work flex hours and can generally take every other Friday off. Check out the following job description, but know that we'd love to hear from Jr. Engineers as well. If you can't hit all of these requirements, so what. Throw your hat in and enjoy the result. Senior Software Engineers at Fry are charged with leading development efforts for engineering projects undertaken on behalf of our clients. This process consists of synthesizing functional and technical specifications to develop Web applications following Fry standards for coding, documentation, design, and security practices. Senior Software Engineers mentor Software Engineers to help them develop their skills and abilities. They collaborate and work closely with Project Managers, Development Managers, and System Architects. This position is integral to the success of the team and Senior Engineers must actively participate in both internal and external (client-facing) meetings. Qualified candidates will have experience/knowledge in:

Java and OO development best practices
Working from and creating UML specifications
System maintenance and monitoring processes
Change management and code deployment methodology
Systems integration
Managing multiple projects and deadlines
Delivering exceptional customer service
Working as part of a multi-disciplinary team
Delegating work to others
Assessing the progress of development
Participating in code reviews
Have strong written and oral communication skills
Project scoping and estimation
Transactional systems (preferably commerce)

Required Educational and Experience qualifications:

A Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent experience.
5+ years experience in: Object Oriented Development.
Very Strong experience in: Java Development; J2EE Application Servers; SQL and RDBMS
UNIX administration is also helpful
Must be extremely detail oriented.
