I came into the online industry through an up and coming website similar to Monster/Career Builder. The two founders also started a tech recruiting company for Northern and Southern California.

At the moment I'm not sure what they are looking for but if you have any experience in the industry I know they recruit for major companies in LA (eHarmony, Mahalo, ect) I can ping and ask them what they need if there is any interest.

Sorry--I know that's really broad but I used to recruit everything from CTOs to Flash/AS guys.

As someone in LA who has had to go back to managing retail because of the game industry's crap right now, I know I am very interested in seeings whats open. I'm looking mainly for ops, assoc producer/ assoc product manager spots. Email me at jasonmorrell at gmail com

Hiring two positions for a start-up game company

Art Director
-Direct the art!
-Experience with Trading Card Game templating a huge plus
-Understanding the Blizzard brands, attention to detail like "Orc muscle architecture works like so"
-Experience with approvals, workflow, and contracting professional artists
-Experience as an art director/creative team member

Game Designer
-Understands the difference between design and development; can function in both ways
-Understands why games that reward skill alone are unsuccessful
-Experience with Trading Card Games and MMOs, specifically World of Warcraft
-Works as a team member
-Can articulate feedback, reasoning in a constructive way
-Please include your history of published games

These are both in-office positions in Irvine, CA. No exceptions. The hours range from 40-week to 60-week when necessary. The company is very pro-employee, believing that if you have a great place to work and a wonderful atmosphere, you will attract top talent.

You can send your resume to Blinkman987 at gmail dot com. Please include the title "SomethingAwful" in your email, as well as the position that interests you. I'm insanely busy. Please do not be offended if I do not reply to your email. Please do not bombard me with emails of "JUST CHECKING IF U GOT IT LOL." I received it.

Also, please include any high school or college basketball experience in your email. We need a point guard pretty bad.

Any chance at more openings here? I have design experience but its based in casual/mobile. The rest of my game experience is in Operations/Post.

We're full up in operations/pre-press/production, but I know someone in the business who is in need of a smartphone app developer on contract. Would that be something you could do? I'll probably post that job as soon as I can speak to him.

Nope, app dev is outside my abilities. Thanks though, if you hear of anything else local I'd be keen to know though. LA has been dead for me so far.

Do they allow remote workers in any of those CA positions?

Moving to Washington in the next few weeks, so I'll at least be in the same timezone :haw:

They are trying to fill all location listed positions in those office locations first, we're trying to cut down on remote employees at the moment.
The only remote listed spots we have are these:

Channel Director, North America

Job Openings

Hey everyone, its been a while since I've posted, last time I worked Magento Commerce, and I still do, except we got bought by Adobe so now I can refer into Adobe overall in additional to open Magento positions.

About the company(s): Magento is one of the largest e-commerce platforms in the world, and has main offices in Los Angeles, San Jose, and Austin (Intl in London, Sydney, and Barcelona). Adobe is one of the largest software companies in the world, known for things like Photoshop, which is pretty cool and has so many offices and remote positions I can't keep up if I tried, the head office is in San Jose.

Currently we're hiring for 1181 positions across Adobe, which is pretty crazy. For Magento we have a much more reasonable 112.
You can see all open positions here: https://adobe.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/external_experienced and Search "Magento" if you want to neck it down to positions where I might know the hiring manager directly.

Some key spots my part of the company is hiring for:
Austin - Product, software/technical architects, program managers, software engineers (regular and senior), reliability engineers, just lots of software spots in general.
Los Angeles/San Jose - communications program manager, marketing spots, solutions architects (like sales engineers kind of), BD and Sales, account mgrs of different types.

Anyway I am not a recruiter but some of these spots have been open for months now and the execs asked us to start reaching out over all our networks so I figured this would be worth a try. PM me if you want any additional details.
