 Two great companies in Austin are hiring game developers right now: Bluepoint Games and Aspyr! Tools, tech, graphics and Mac programmers take note! Join a super-energized community!
Aspyr is hiring Mac Software Engineers -- applicants need to have C++, Windows and Mac development experience, expert debugging and best practices. Aspyr is a great company near downtown Austin with a laid back attitude. Their own site says, “Life is too short to separate work and play. Instead, we have created a mutant race of organized free thinkers to help take on the daunting yet noble task of letting the world relax and have fun.”
Bluepoint Games is operating a little under the radar in Austin - not many folks know about them, but that is about to change. Bluepoint has a veteran team, a solid track record, and some very interesting work to be done. This is where you come in: they’re seeking a Sr. Tools and Technology engineer, a self-starter, with C++, C#, Mel scripting, next-gen console products and lots of chutzpah.
Austin’s rich gamer history, industry luminaries and welcoming developer community are just a few reasons to consider openings at Bluepoint and Aspyr! The Austin game development scene is really hopping right now. The Austin chapter of IGDA recently held their 4th annual picnic on Richard Garriott’s property on the lake, with over 40 game companies represented! Yes, four-oh, forty!

Austin has some seriously heavy hitter AAA titles shipping this year and next: The Force Unleashed II (Wii) from Red Fly, Epic Mickey from Junction Point, Star Wars: The Old Republic from Bioware, Donkey Kong Country Returns from Retro, Sims 3 (PS3 and XBox360) from Edge of Reality, and so many more. And that’s just the consoles and MMOs - the iPhone, DS, Facebook, casual, serious and retro game scenes are strong as well! Check out the GameDevMap - look at the pixels, man!
