So You Want to Work at a Game Company?

Crud... About two years too early for me. Still living in Florida, or I'd be applying in a heartbeat. Ah, well. Perhaps one day...

Already sent in when the position was first posted. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

If i could move from Australia to USA without all that pesky visa requirements, i would apply. already working in a similar role here hehe.

Why is the Graphic Designer position for Seattle residents only? What if an applicant was willing to relocate?

How fast can you relocate?

Just out of curiosity, are all of your graphic designers in-house?

Graphic Designers are all in house; artists and cartographers are freelance.

Also free range. They roam the great plains, the mountains, the valleys, in search of new inks and new ideas.

I keep applying because eventually they'll run out of more qualified applicants....

I tossed my resume at the email for the software dev position a while ago. Not sure if it was received, since I never received any response. Maybe I'll resend just to make sure.

That graphic designer position certainly caused me to stop in my tracks ...

The digital products assistant and software developers resumes are currently arranged in a nice neat pile in my inbox. I expect to start being able to go through them sometime next week.

Cool. Thanks for letting me/us know. :)

Anything open in Finance department? :-)

Ahhh, sadly no opening for in-house counsel. I shall wait patiently...

I'm looking forward to when the Court Jester position opens up.

Nope. I had one back in July, but it's long gone.

Is there any help with relocation assistance?

Even as little as, "here is a listing of apts" to "hey we got your first month apt rent"?

Are all customer service positions in-house?
Thanks for your time.

Yes. From the blog post: None of these positions are remote, you'll need to be able to come into the Paizo office located in Redmond, Washington during regular business hours, Monday through Friday.

Graphic Design peaked my interest, but I am not confident enough yet. But it made me happy as I am getting a degree in that, so I'm happy my degree might help me get a career in an industry that I love!

I would SO apply for the software developer position if I was in any way able to move from the East Coast...

Happy to see Paizo doing so well!

Happy to see Paizo doing so well!

My thoughts as well, Christina :) Even though I can't personally apply for any of these jobs (at least not yet), it's nice to see that they are growing as a company still.

Keep up the awesome work, Paizo!

Gar. Time to move up to Washington.

Good grief NO! I live in NY and want to get away from the snow / ice / cold, so my wife and I are moving to FL in a couple of years.

Thank goodness I am retired, and she is retiring in June 2014.

Washington may be a northern state, but its coastal climate means we don't get very extreme weather in either summer or winter. West of the mountains, we get very little snow (an inch or two a year) and temperatures rarely go above the mid 80s in the summer. East of the mountains is another story, but Paizo's not over there, so that's hardly relevant.

It is pretty hilarious when it snows here, though.

Yea, I remember some threads in past years about "snowpocalypse" and raptors and things that go bump in the night....

hehehe

Why must you taunt me Paizo!?!? First with job applications on the other side of the country, and now with snow!

;_;

Btw, who was hired as the card game editor?

I'm still waiting for you guys to post the corporate pilot position.

Okay, probably a dumb question, but if I don't ask I won't know. How would I contact someone about an idea I have for a book. keeping in mind of coarse that I already know that people jump through hoops to get a writing contract for this company, I still have an idea for a set of source books that would make a whole plethora of people very happy. I just wonder who I would talk to about it?

I'm glad to see these positions being added - the growing pains from the success you've had over the last few years has been starting to show for a while, I think.

I seem to remember Vic saying that Paizo wasnt planning on ever growing passed a certain number of employees and further that the threshold was very close to being met.

If it's still a topic for public discussion, has anything changed? Is there still a notional, if loosely defined, "maximum desired size" for the company?

We don't accept unsolicited submissions, and we have our schedule planned well in advance. However, we've been known to listen to thousands of suggestions from folks in our messageboard community, resulting in a fair amount of those wishes being met.

See?

Good luck to those that apply :)

I...I feel this urge to create a Pathfinder Society faction run by a flumph. And create new archetypes that allow characters to be more flumph-like. And pitch a 64-page module in which flumphs play a central role. And write part of a future Player Companion entitled People of the Flumph.

Adam, what's going on? Are you channeling the fans' will again?

Blood of the Stars sounds a bit better to me, and has more mass appeal.

Adam, what's going on? Are you channeling the fans' will again?

It's not me. It just... happens.

Blast and here I got ranks in Biology, Violin Performance and Trauma Nursing. Guess I can't be in your party :P

It happens more often when people want more Flumphs. Rysky being one of those peoples.

Perhaps one day I shall be here as part of the team. My old love of pen and paper games has come roaring back as of late. But first...find a group...

STOP IT, DAIGLE.

I see what you did to John, there.

If only Seattle wasn't half a lightyear away. :)

Btw, who was hired as the card game editor?

We won't announce who it is until we have a signed Offer Letter in hand. Hopefully very soon!

Come to the Flumph side Price. It's very fun and cuddly here :3
