(Apologies for cross-post, but jobs@ has had three posts ever, and Sam said it was okay.)
Hi all,
Activision Maine, a small engineering satellite office for Activision located in Portland, ME, has openings for summer internship and co-op positions. I’m one of the principals at the office, and I used to work with Sam at Loki back in the day (and now we both work for Activision/Blizzard, small world, eh?). If you’re enrolled in a four-year undergraduate or post-graduate degree program and are eligible to work in the United States you can apply for the position.
Please email me privately (ie, off list) if you’re interested with your resume and ideally a work sample.
Thanks,
Michael Vance
Technical Director
Activision Maine
2 Union St #400
Portland ME 04101
