Producer

Cryptic Studios is currently looking for a full-time Producer who understands individual team management as well as big picture production for a high profile MMO set in the Magic:The Gathering universe. You should be capable of organizing and coordinating the innumerable details that are required to help make your teams successful.

The test of a great producer is that their teams succeed. The best person for this position knows it's their job to own features or teams and then get everything out of the way so their team can work. They know when to own, delegate, smile, ask, tell, or roll up their sleeves and get dirty. They play and love the game and everyone on the team trusts their judgment. In the end, their game ships on-time, with no burnout, and gets rave reviews from our players.

* Creating and maintaining long term, large-scale project schedules to budget manpower, drive milestones and scope the project.

* Evolving and refining development processes to increase productivity and quality.

* Producing an established team of people, as well as the feature(s) they are creating, to make sure that every detail comes in on schedule, fully tracked, integrated with the work of other teams, works great, and is most of all fun.

* Communicating with your lead producer, executive producer, and directors at the company to make sure milestones and expectations are understood and realistically scoped.

* Proficient in the use of the Microsoft Office suite and other project management software.

* Proficient knowledge or practical experience in 3-D art, game design, or programming

* We make live MMO’s that require production to be capable of managing game builds, tracking and scheduling code/data changes via multiple builders and test shards while getting everything live as clean as possible. Even if you are not making builds you need to understand and implement the process completely.

* A fun tight-knit team

* Full-Time role
