Overview
FableLabs is looking for a strong software engineer to continue the development of our flash game engine, expand our suite of game design and code generation tools, and develop new games from the planning stage to post-launch.
Why You Should Apply:
TECHNOLOGY: We embrace cutting edge technology if it saves us time in the long run. Ask us about how we wrote our own DSL that in turn generates code for serializing game data and defining API routes. Or perhaps watch our webinar with Membase about how we are able to support millions of users with NO sysadmin and a tiny team. Bigger doesn't always mean better, if you know how to use the right tools.
INNOVATION: We have built a wide range of tools and processes that greatly reduce both low level work and endless cross-functional meetings. By making sure team members are unblocked and focused on high value activities, we're able to spend more time on adding innovation to our games.
IMPACT: We've signed some long term deals with publishers that want to distribute our games on the web and mobile platforms. We are looking for folks that want to join on this initial traction and help take it to the next level. We will be asking for your opinion so be ready to have one.

You identify yourself as a game developer rather than a flash developer
You didn't just pass your CS classes, but have actually implemented, say, a doubly linked list in AS3.
You know about A* and depth sorting as much as you do about DisplayObject and BitmapData. (and I hope it's quite a bit!)
You have compiled swfs without using timeline or straight from the command line.
You apply the hotkey skills acquired from StarCraft in the daily use of your favorite IDE.
You can configure your own linux server or better yet, even know some vim commands.
You have MUST shipped a game, or released your own open source project.
You think of yourself as an entrepreneur not employee
