Overview
Do you want to make a huge impact in how the next generations play and learn? Pluto Games is committed to bringing the best educational games to children around the world. We want to integrate brilliant technology with world-class creative talent to develop products that foster children's creativity, curiosity, and knowledge of the world around them.
Pluto Games was founded in YouWeb Incubator, birthplace of wildly successful gaming companies such as OpenFeint (recently acquired for $104M by GREE), CrowdStar, iSwifter and Sibblingz Spaceport. We are very excited about the huge opportunity in kids' edutainment created by tablets and smartphones with intuitive interfaces. We are well-funded, incredibly well-advised, and perfectly positioned to capture this space.
We are looking for a rockstar iOS game developer to become the company's Founding Engineer. You will be responsible for the design and implementation of our cutting-edge, big-vision educational games and will work cross-functionally with our small team to define and launch new games.
In addition, as the first non-founder engineer at an early-stage company, you will also have the opportunity to grow and mentor a team.
We offer a competitive salary, early-stage stock options, and a comprehensive health, dental, and vision benefits package.
