About Toys For Bob
We're owned by Activision. We've been together for 20 years, made a bunch of games, many of which are actually fun. Our office and work style are pretty damn awesome. We aren't on fire. We advocate the relocation of polar bear tribes to Antarctica. We have the best design tools around. It would be nice to one day do another Star Control title but what's really most important is that we can keep working on fun games for fun people and not turn into a bunch of business jerks. That passion burns deep inside our bellies, like a flaming golden hawk.
DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a talented, creative, self-motivated, and strongly passionate individual to take part in our Quality Assurance testing process of our next title. For this role we are seeking team members who will thrive in a collaborative environment, possess outstanding communication skills, and have a desire to assist with the creation of awesome games.
