Is relocation necessary? We always love to have employees join us in our office, but this position is remote-friendly. Do I have to be a Gamer? Yes! Well, a gamer, if not a Gamer™ – familiarity with the kind of games we merchandise (from AAA to indie) will be vital for this role, and ideally that will spring from your personal interest in gaming and/or industry experience. Some tips for new applicants:

• A resume doesn't hurt, but it's not always a major factor in our decisions, so don't spend a lot of time agonizing over it
• A strong portfolio easily beats an impressive-sounding resume
• Give us an idea of who you are. We're curious about your interests, hobbies, aspirations, etc – even if they have nothing to do with gaming
