Sifteo, a venture-backed consumer electronics start-up, is seeking Game Designer / Developers to create a new generation of interactive games on a revolutionary platform. We are looking for someone who is passionate about games, who understands the essentials of both classic table top and video game mechanics, and who is excited about jumping into a start up environment. You’ll be working with a small team and responsible for the full production cycle of a series of games. In short, you need to be able to design and develop mobile-size, production-level games individually and quickly.
Siftables are gesture-sensitive video tiles that form a smart, distributed system for games and education. The technology has been spun out of the MIT Media Lab and has been featured on the Science and Discovery channels, presented at the TED conference, and has been written up by Engadget, Gizmodo, New Scientist and Wired.
