When does the job start?
Our goal is to hire someone to start in early May (or mid-May at the latest).
Is relocation necessary?
We want someone who can relocate to Tucson and will be giving preference to candidates who can move. However, it's not a dealbreaker – if you're a really strong fit but you can only work remotely, we might be able to work around it.
Do I have to be a Gamer?
Nope. A personal interest in gaming is a plus, since our employees' preferences directly shape our company's products and partnerships – but plenty of our staff have little or no experience with video games or the gaming industry.
