Web Application Developer
For our next game - which is (shh!) unannounced - we're adding some
exciting new features utilizing web technology. Unfortunately, we
can't talk about the new features we're adding in this job listing,
because the games industry press reads all of our jobs listings just
to see what we're up to. Then they print stories, and what we're doing
isn't a secret any more. And we like secrets. Of course, if you make
it to a job interview, we'll show you lots of details about what we're
doing.
