Video Game Platform Architect needed to help plan startup
Los Angeles, CA • 08/22/2007
I need an experienced video game platform architect to join me in a new startup venture. You should have broad knowledge of the various options for portable and console game systems, including hardware, operating system, game engines, and 3D graphic real-time animated characters; though you really only have to be an expert in architecting the game software itself. We won't be needing much of a physics engine. You will ultimately hire a staff to do the detailed engineering work though you should want to roll your sleeves up and code a lot of the time (if you aren't "management material" that's ok you can help hire your boss when the time comes).
For the first 6 to 8 months this is an unpaid, spare-time kind of project as you will be mostly helping brainstorm the product, creating mock ups to show to potential investors, and helping draft a large number of patent applications for what is going to be a very revolutionary product. From day one you will have a large chunk of company stock (not "options" -- actual stock is better!).
Once we are funded, you will be paid well, and will be expected to start work full time and quickly recruit a development team.
This project will involve some cutting-edge science, which means one or two years of "stealth mode" R&D, so if you can't keep a secret this job isn't for you.
As for me, I've raised tens of millions of dollars of VC money for my current startup (which is doing very well) and I will handle all the finance side of the company, as well as defining strategy. If we create a good business plan and roadshow, funding won't be an issue.
Send me your resume and a link to a demo if you have one. You should be within easy commuting distance from Woodland Hills so we can meet often, but the company office location will be chosen by us based on where the talented people turn out to be living (even if both of us have to move). If you don't feel that you are qualified for this leadership role but want to be involved anyway, go ahead and send me a resume and maybe we'll talk.
