Graduate Game Designer
Company unspecified (job is advertised through an agency)
This is a top class and very stable developer, who have created one of the best known and most successful PC franchises of all time and have enjoyed both commercial and critical success in doing so.
Some of their most recent accolades include taking both the IGN Best PC strategy game at E3 and also the Best Overall PC Game as well. Previous awards are too numerous to list here. Needless to say their pedigree is of the highest level.
They are currently looking for intelligent, obsessive gamers to expand its design group - they are looking for both rookies and experienced designers, and will consider people who have not worked in the games industry before. Not just a player of games - someone who is driven to fully understand their internal workings and use that knowledge to win.
