Game Designer Internship (Boston, MA)

2009-12-03T10:15:52-05:00

Who We Want (in one sentence): A creative writing-oriented paid intern (5K over the winter) to write, develop and promote interactive mobile games using the brand-new SCVNGR technology (www.scvngr.com). Read on for more about the position below.

About SCVNGR: SCVNGR is the world�s only enterprise-level geo-gaming platform. We provide the software and infrastructure to power location-based mobile games for institutions and individuals. These games, tours, interactive experiences etc� are played by hundreds of thousands of people via iPhone App, Android App, Mobile Web and even SMS. Over the last year, SCVNGR has been purchased and deployed by over 500 institutions in 44 states and 2 countries with a client repeat rate of over 90%. Our clients are museums, conferences, universities, corporations, promotional firms, individual game-builders and even the U.S. Military (I know, cool right?). In our first full year in business we�ll do just over $1MM in revenue and are on track to do five times that next year. We�re venture backed by Highland Capital to the tune of another million dollars, have 20 full time employees and are basically taking the mobile gaming world by storm. Our month on month revenue has been growing by 40% consistently for the last year. Check us out in Business Week, TechCrunch and Forbes Magazine.

About the Position / Program: We�re hosting a winternship program and are looking for talented, motivated and ambitious students looking to gain some experience working in a fast-paced, high-tech start up and actually make a meaningful impact (paper-pushers need not apply). The positions would be winter internships at our awesome offices in downtown Boston. (Yes, we do have a full sized pool table in the office and ride our bikes indoors to get from one conference room to the others!)

The program described below is for our �Not Your Typical Game Writer Internship� program.

SCVNGR�s software enables anyone, individual or institution, to quickly and easily build sophisticated location based mobile games. We�re looking for a creative (paid) intern over the winter to experiment with the platform and build exciting interactive mobile games using our software. For an example of what our games look like, check out: http://vimeo.com/4492994!

The games that you build (along with games being built by city halls and other institutions all across the country) will be the first SCVNGR games open to the general public through our (soon to be launched) consumer facing site.

We are looking for an extremely creative and bright intern who is excited by the idea of spending an entire winter experimenting with some of the coolest new pieces of technology in the mobile market. SCVNGR games are deployed via text message, mobile web and native phone apps (iPhone and Android) meaning that you will get to build games that make use of live streaming audio and video, real-time GPS tracking and more. (And no, it doesn�t require any tech skills, that�s what the SCVNGR tech team is here for.)

What it does require is great writing skills, a special talent with words, an amazingly creative mind and a love of clues, riddles, ciphers and probably a decent sense of humor. You�ll be building interactive fiction style games that blend digital interactivity with real-world interaction using our state of the art technology to tie it all together.

The program will also include exciting learning opportunities that you can only really get at a high-tech start up. You�ll be fully engaged in the high-tech and start-up community up in Boston, attending lectures and speaking series with some of the best and brightest minds in the world, joining us at local events karate monkey karate monkey if you�re still reading this far be sure to include karate monkey in the title of your email to us where we�re presenting SCVNGR�s exciting business model or just listening to either bright individuals and organizations tout their achievements. We�ll be bringing in speakers from our VC�s other portfolio companies to talk about their experiences ranging from everything from sales to tech to how to survive on two hours of sleep a night (possible, but not recommended).

The whole point is that this when we say it�s �not your typical internship,� we mean it. You�ll be working hard for sure, but you�ll also learn a tremendous amount and having a ton of fun essentially building and promoting awesome games all winter.

If you�re interested (and we hope you are), please take a moment to familiarize yourself with our company by visiting www.scvngr.com. Send a resume / thoughtful cover letter to jobs@scvngr.com. Include a couple of creative ideas of what games you�d build and how you might go about promoting it to get it in the hands of thousands of potential players all across the country.

We look forward to hearing from you.

-- The SCVNGR Team
