That nymag article title made me cringe. I clicked it not thinking it would be that visceral of an experience. :)

#107BioWare, Austin, TX. We make video games you might have played (Mass Effect? Dragon Age?) and the Austin office is working on the Star Wars: The Old Republic MMO. The web team has 2-3 contractor openings for web developers (senior PHP [Drupal] and just HTML/CSS/JS) and graphic designers to help us build out all the game-web integration. Edit: the job listings aren't live yet, so you can email me at vito underscore bi…
I've strongly considered dropping an application at Bioware for a while now (been doing the business world development for a while, looking to move to games). Any idea on server side developer positions or "I have development experience but not game development experience" client positions (C, C++, .NET, Java aren't an issue)? On another note, how are they on the game release crunch? Normal 1-2 month crunch if behind…
I think there's at least one server-side (senior Java) position open on the systems integration side: https://jobs.ea.com/jobs/jobposting.aspx?refresh=1&posti... (warning, will try to resize your browser window).
I think knowing your stuff is more important than how you know it, but game servers are essentially soft real-time, maintaining thousands of connections and arbitrating 3D movement and actions and physics with predictions to compensate for network lag for all of them, and if all you know is stateless HTTP, that's not going to cut it. Video games have been dealing with the C10k problem for a lot longer than web developers.
In addition, if you're only slightly better than someone who plays games or has game industry experience, I think they'll get the job over you, no question. I'm not much of a gamer, and there just isn't anything else some people here talk about, so I miss out on a lot of water cooler talk.
I don't know how the other offices do it, but the Austin office does SCRUM, and there's always some team that's crunching during any given milestone (this time it's us). Since we're making an MMO, our release date doesn't mean we stop working or making content, but the office is mostly cleared out by 7pm or so, most nights.

Local only or remote?
Local to Austin only. They're contract positions, so no relocation is provided. Sorry.

#109Dropcam, http://www.dropcam.com/ in San Francisco. You can just email me directly - greg@dropcam.com. We code for the cameras and the server-side, mostly Python/C -- and there are many terabytes of data to work with. We also have an iPhone app and will possibly support more mobile platforms in the future. We're looking for generalist engineers who know C like the back of their hand but prefer to code in a higher leve…
Christ, what a brilliant startup idea. I think this is the sort of thing people are looking for in terms of home surveillance -- simplicity, cost, access. Neat!
Thanks! You definitely nailed it ... I think we spend 80% of our eng. time on those three things.
