[Tfug] Shameless Job Posting

[Chris Hill]

I'll stop posting these when I stop finding awesome people off this list 
:D As an aside, if you are a Java developer, we would also be interested 
in talking with you. We are very comfortable in cross-training java devs.

Sony Online Entertainment Tucson is looking for various people to help 
us make video games. We're looking for three types of people:

Mid/Senior Level Actionscript Developer - On-site long-term contractor 
position.
Mid/Senior Level ActionScript Game Developer - Off-site short-term 
contract(s) for mini-game development.
Intern/Junior Level Developer - On-site Development/Learning Program.

Detailed information below.

== Middle/Senior Actionscript Developer ==

This is a FULL TIME contract position for on-site work.

Game development knowledge a plus, but unnecessary. We are looking for 
quality coders. If you've wanted to work in games this position is 
perfect for a seasoned developer to migrate over. You will be working on 
a team developing game subsystems within a larger game environment.

Skills sought :
 * Ability to work in a team using agile methodology.
 * A solid understanding of a Cairngorm-style MVC programming style.
 * Ability to write quality modular, loosely coupled code.
 * A working knowledge of Flash.

== Middle/Senior Actionscript Game Developer ==

This is a SHORT-TERM contract position for off-site work. Based upon 
performance and workload we may have more work for you afterwards. Each 
contract is approximately 2-3 weeks.

You will be developing mini-games based upon our specifications and 
artwork. You will be given a rough spec and be expected to work with our 
in-house team to deliver a finished game on a quick timeline.

Skills sought :
 * Experience in game development.
 * Stellar communication ability.
 * Ability to conform to our internal coding guidelines.
 * A solid understanding of a Cairngorm-style MVC programming style.
 * Ability to write quality modular, loosely coupled code.
 * A working knowledge of Flash.

== Intern/Junior Level Developer ==

This is a PART-TIME position for on-site work. If you are in the Tucson 
area and are just getting started in programming or computer science, we 
can probably help each other. We are looking for beginners who can take 
on small tasks and learn on the job.

Skills sought :
 * Potential to be a great programmer.
