Join the Guild Wars 2 Development Team!

We're looking for graphics, tools, engine, network, and content programmers to help us build the future of online roleplaying. If you are our dream candidate, you'll have at least a few years of professional programming experience under your belt, a college degree in Computer Science or equivalent, excellent skills in C++ and C#, a service-oriented attitude, and the ability to bore us to tears with details about the exploits of your original Ultima Online character. In short, you'll be an excellent programmer, a passionate gamer and cool teammate.

Here are a few reasons why working at ArenaNet could be your dream job:

  • complete creative autonomy; we make games we want to play
  • sustained, long-term financial backing; no "funding milestones"
  • no suits; we are a company of passionate gamers and you can see it the moment you walk into the studio
  • no "B" titles; we are ambitious and our games reflect it
  • laid-back, open air studio culture; no offices, no cubes, no halls
  • a collaborative design environment; work shoulder to shoulder with the development leads from Guild Wars, StarCraft, Diablo and Battle.net
  • people who work here are actually happy; if you know someone who works here, ask!
  • strong engineering discipline; our code base is exceptionally clean, well structured, and stable
  • no egos, no prima donnas, no rock stars; just people you respect and enjoy working with
  • true work-life balance; we don't just say it, we live it every day
  • a firm goal to dominate the online gaming industry, and the expertise and resources to do it
