Bellevue, WA
At ArenaNet, we’ve always believed that games are art. They have the power to communicate ideas and tell stories. They can change the way we think, reflect our cultures, and move us. As the developer of the award-winning Guild Wars game series, we’re proud to share our passion for the online worlds we’ve created with over 11 million players worldwide.
ArenaNet develops and publishes games for every kind of person, which means our games need to be built by every kind of person. We believe the best experiences come from working together, celebrating differences, and helping each of our team members shine.
WHO ARE YOU?
You love building and growing teams! You thrive on working closely with the development team to help build the plan for upcoming goals while tracking progress along the way and creating mechanisms to communicate that progress to the game team and publishing leadership.
You love puzzles: the game development and game studio kinds, where we’ve encountered a problem that has countless solutions, and you dive in with leaders across the dev team to help illuminate the best answer for the moment. You enjoy the process of building and growing connections between teams and companies from co-development to outsourcing to console certification to ensure a game can accomplish its production goals and get to launch.
When you start work in the morning, one of the first questions you ask is: what complicated cross-team dependency do we need to account for so our teams can iterate rapidly without distraction? You measure success based on speed of iteration in how quickly we can test new ideas in the game. You believe process should only exist if it helps the development team move faster and better. You believe different disciplines and teams work in different ways and help support them to work in the way that’s best for them.
You find joy in mentoring and growing both individuals and a team. You find yourself constantly exploring the problem spaces and are hungry to learn because you’re passionate about making the best darn workplace anyone has ever seen. You value a person’s ability to meaningfully contribute as a team member over their own personal deliverable skills.
You take personal pride when the team delivers a product that meets or exceeds quality expectations, on schedule, and within budget.
