Web Designer

Two simple questions:

• Do you have commercial experience of producing visually engaging responsive web site designs?
• Are you able to produce excellent HTML, CSS and JavaScript?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, read on my friend!

Our Sniper Elite series is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 35 million players worldwide.
