This role is open to remote work from specific states (AZ, CA, CO, FL, GA, ID, IL, MD, NC, NY, OR, TX, UT, WA, and WI) or onsite/hybrid/flex at their office in Bellevue, WA. If you're passionate about weaving cinematic magic into online worlds and thrive in a dynamic team environment, this could be the perfect opportunity for you at ArenaNet.
