Overview

Kabam is looking for a bright, energetic, and dedicated team player to join our growing team. We are well-funded (backed by top-tier VCs and the world’s largest gaming company), profitable and offer a competitive salary, equity participation and benefits.

Kabam got its start building TV and sports fan community sites, and we recently turned our attention to creating innovative, engaging social games. Our first title, Kingdoms of Camelot, has garnered top ratings and a strong (and growing) following on Facebook.

Note: We're growing but in a controlled fashion. We believe in small teams working collaboratively to build great products. And we're extremely selective, with an emphasis on smarts, attitude and ethics. If you are looking to make an impact on (and share in) the success of our business, work with a great team, and have a little fun in the process, please send us your information. We'd like to meet you.

* Peer code review
* Participate in testing regularly scheduled releases

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
