Game Designer

Do you find yourself taking apart the level design of Disneyland while on vacation? Do your brainstorms bounce around from epic games to multiplayer mayhem to your own old-school style quarter-munchers? Most importantly, do you fully appreciate the amount of blood, sweat and tears that really go into making great games -- and you still want to do it because, despite all the complaining, it’s still the best job in the world? Well, if the idea of doing game design in a fun environment with excellent benefits and a competitive industry salary sparks your interest, then throw your hat into the Big Bang Entertainment ring.
