* Due to the nature of this position, benefits and relocation assistance are not provided.

I find it to be a generally fun place to work so if you're looking for a place to get a start in the industry or just want a fun temp job this might be something worth looking into. A few notes:

- This is a temp position, I believe they are looking for someone to stick around for 1 year with chance of becoming hired full time after that.
- We make first person shooters so experience with them is a plus, both for you and Kaos. Would suck if you hate FPS games and have to play them 8 hours a day.

If you have any questions feel free to post here or PM me.

You don't necessarily need to be good at shooters to be hired. They are more interested in your ability to break games and to clearly articulate how to reproduce what you did. Trust me though, you will get pretty good at shooters pretty fast playing them as much as we do.

I would be interested in this position if I didn't have a year left in college.
Venture Capital is better off spent on lottery tickets rather than investing in E-Sports; you'll get a far better return. The difference is simple: Koreans are tryharding at the game, foreigners are tryharding in real-life.

I could be interested, but I don't know yet whether I'll be in NYC after the summer. So, some natural questions:

-When should we apply by and when should we expect to start?
-What would you want applicants to have, other than adult legal status and an interest in FPS? Is there anything that belongs on a resume for this job? Should I list other FPS I've played and how much I've played them?
-What level of compensation ($$$) are we looking at?
My strategy is to fork people.

I finish school this semester in about 2 weeks, and taking the train from Suffolk to penn is about an hour//hour and a half. ._.

I'd totally be interested in a summer there if thats even a remote possibility.

I'm actually kinda surprised everyone is all over this job lol

I've heard bad things about the game testing industry, i.e you barely really "play" the game, you just test it by trying to break things
