ArenaNet is looking for Game Server & Network Programmer
duration - Full Time

Job details: Game Server & Network Programmer ArenaNet, creator of the block-buster online RPG Guild Wars, is always on the lookout for accomplished, self-motivated programmers with exceptional skills. Qualified candidates should be capable of taking on significant projects and completing them independently, designing and creating new technology, and working with a small team to build a game around that technology.
Some of the skills we seek in our programming staff include:
Extensive experience with sockets and WinSock
Extensive experience with multithreading
Ability to engineer robust solutions to hard problems
Extremely fluent in C/C++
Fanatical about writing optimized, scalable code
Experience working on a team
Ability to develop clean abstractions and interfaces
Proven ability to finish projects
A passion for games
An ability to work with all types of development staff
If you feel you meet our exceptional needs, send your resume and code samples in C/C++ that demonstrate your ability to engineer practical solutions to difficult problems. We prefer to see code in such areas as multithreading, sockets, graphics, path finding or other difficult problems. We generally look for at least 2500 lines of code in at least two different subject areas.
We encourage you to send code that will show your best work, and would suggest avoiding linked-list implementations, matrix transformations, lightweight DirectX "wrappers", and the like, as those samples tend not to give a clear idea of your abilities. If you have collaborated with other programmers on the code, please give us a clear indication regarding which parts you've written. Finally, please do not submit executables, make-files or data files.
Code samples will be held in the strictest confidence and used solely for the purpose of evaluating your abilities.
Send your resume and code samples to:
jobs@arena.net
Submitted materials will not be returned.
