Jobs

Boomzap is hiring game programmers and artists to work on some great new casual games for the PC, Mac, Nintendo Wii, and iPhone/iPad platforms. These are full-time, virtual office positions – you can work from home, from anywhere in the world.

Designer Trainee

We are looking for bright, dedicated people ready to begin a professional career in game development, and willing to undergo training from the beginning. Our design trainees must be dedicated, passionate, and willing to work harder than they have ever worked in their lives. They should also have enormous powerful brains, and the confidence to use them.

You should be able to prove your passion and dedication for game development through your own skills and personal development, showing us that you have experience in as many areas below as possible:

  • Experience of any kind of scripting language (PHP, Lua, etc.)
  • Experience with design software (Photoshop, 3DSMax, Maya, etc.) to conceptualize scenes/levels
  • A working demo of a game you have created (computer, card, or board game) as a hobby or professionally using tools such as (but not limited to) RPGMaker, Unity, or Flash
  • Samples of creative/technical writing
This is an entry level design track – no professional game design experience is necessary. We are looking however for design trainees that have as many of the tools listed above as possible, as these are the foundations of a strong design career at Boomzap.
