Description

We have an Actionscript Games Developer vacancy available for immediate start. Salary is negotiable and based on experience and skills that can be demonstrated. The job would be ideal for a recent graduate or someone with a few years experience. This is a permanent in-house position - successful applicants must be able to work from our London studio.

As an Actionscript Games Developer you will be technically and creatively competent to work on all aspects of a Flash game from discussing initial concepts with the team, building a technical demo, creating a level editor, building a solid game engine and adding effects and final polish. We're looking for someone who has a genuine passion for games - old and new. Someone who is interested in creating games based on experimental ideas and likes solving problems.

Nitrome is a well-established games studio based in London. We produce original high quality flash games for licensing and for our own website which gets millions of visitors every week.

- Extensive knowledge of Flash including how to use timelines and movieclips effectively

- Knowledge of (and willingness to learn) mathematical concepts to help create more interesting and clever game ideas

- Writing code in a clean, commented style that can be understood by other members of the programming team


Although design will not be a major part of your role you will be required to be able to do the following:

- Keep placeholder graphics clean and presentable

- Be able to apply simple design styles (as provided by a designer/artist) to various game options pages and assets within a Flash game

- Be able to create clean basic graphic assets when required using Photoshop

- Be able to compress and optimise images to minimise filesize


The following would also be a bonus:

- Knowledge of other programming languages such as Java or C++
