Job Description
Community Content Editor
Are you the space ninja we've been looking for? Is your pen mightier than your Scindo? Sharp wit, quick-thinking, new media-savvy, lover of online comradery, grammar aficionado, deadline hurdler, naturally inquisitive, game expert are just a few of your strong qualities. As Warframe’s Community Content Editor you are responsible for curating and producing engaging content for our community of over 26 Million Tenno. The sky is the limit in transforming how players connect to you and therefore to the game. You must have a passion for thinking strategically and generating original content that’s targeted at specific segments of our player base. Your creative limits should know no bounds and you are always willing to flex your pen or multimedia ideas to create them – whether it’s a detailed technical and visual analysis about foliage mesh generation, an Onion-style satire on how burned out players just can’t stop playing, or an entrancing story set amidst the Orokin’s first battle with the Sentients. Your attention to detail is pristine, which you’ve proven by integrating the words transference and operator playfully into your cover letter. You’re a master of organization and flexibility, able to adeptly manage an editorial calendar throughout the constant shifts of the game’s development. You yearn to be part of a passionate, driven team whose primary vision is to forge meaningful, personal relationships amongst its players, developers and gamers everywhere.
