GearBox Software President and CEO
Randy Pitchford has announced that the company is in early
stages of the biggest project they have ever worked on. Below
is his post in the GearBox forums:
I’ve started a new project. It’s
big. It’s, like, look-at-our-line-up-and-imagine-something-even-bigger
kind of big. I’m Directing it myself. I can't mention
it publicly yet. When you find out what this is, you'll likely
agree that I can't oversell this one.
I’m looking for some talent from
outside of Gearbox to join us for this one. Specifically,
we need a super senior artist – lead artist or art director
level. Can you motivate and inspire others while making sure
they’re productive? Do you know the tools and techniques
for this gen’s AAA? Want to do something that is going
to be super relevant - that everyone will notice and play
when you're finished? You’ll work directly with me (and
a kick-ass team) and you’ll define a *lot* of the game’s
look and feel (and you’ll get to contract the best concept
artists in the world to help you).
Gearbox is on fire right now and it’s
only looking better down the road. This is an extremely rare
chance to join up in a super senior role with a lot of authority
and responsibility. Even if you’re only curious, just
introduce yourself to me by e-mailing dreamgig@gearboxsoftware.com
Yeah, it’s a campy address, but when you hear more about
the project you'll probably agree. We can be extremely discreet
if you’re curious but don’t want to represent
that you’re looking to leave your current gig - just
let us know. If you don’t know about us, more information
about Gearbox Software can be found at www.gearboxsoftware.com.
One more thing – I’ll be
at DICE and GDC in Feb, so if you’re going to be at
either and can meet in person, indicate that when you e-mail.
As far as senior/lead artist opportunities go, trust me when
I say that this is as good as it gets (which is why I’m
going this route to get the word out). In your e-mail, you
may want to include a note or art that makes us want to sort
you to to the top. Good luck.
PS – The lead coder for the project
is also looking for a couple of coders to join him, so use
the same contact address if you’re a veteran programmer.
Other Gearbox projects have openings too (including on the
Borderlands and Aliens teams).
- Randy Pitchford
