Ask HN: Who's Hiring?
Been a while since I've seen a new HN hiring thread. As always, if you need someone to work onsite, please make sure to list a location.
That's the web site for Bioware's new Star Wars MMO, set in the KOTOR timeline: http://www.swtor.com/
Integrating live game data. Feeding it to the web. Letting people go crazy with user-generated content on it. For the two million players that EA wants, just to start. On Drupal 7.
The community is already huge. It's one of the biggest Drupal sites ever, and it's getting bigger every day. Come help me work on it.
BioWare is still looking for three senior Drupal or PHP developers, as well as a graphic artist and an HTML/CSS/JS developer, in Austin, TX.
I'm an interaction designer for the web team, and the openings are here, under "Marketing:" http://www.bioware.com/bioware_info/jobs/austin_jobs/
They're contract jobs, so no relocation is provided for, but they're a year long, so you wouldn't have to look for something new right away.
If you apply, email me (vmiliano at that domain name) with your resume (and portfolio, if you're an artist) so I can put your resume in the hiring manager's hands.
25MM+ active users, Ruby, distributed databases. Lots of scaling challenges.
Oh yeah, and it's all to raise money and awareness for charity. You know, saving the world. But actually instead of kinda.
Though considering this audience maybe I should have left it in.
