As you probably realised, we’re really quite busy making our new super-exciting game, LittleBigPlanet 2. We’ve been so busy making it in fact, that we just noticed we could do with some more help! So come help us!
Don’t all rush at once though - specifically, we need a Motion Graphics and Video Editing wizard. Yes, that’s right - WIZARD. Of the freelance variety.
A freelance Motion Graphics and Video Editing Wizard.
We need you to look like do this:
So please, come and help us make LittleBigPlanet 2, we’d love you to!
* Ok, so you don’t have to be an actual wizard. However could all wizards please check our other vacancies
Now we’re all settled in our new digs, we need to finish making a video game. In order to do so though, we are missing two vital Molecules, a Network Programmer and a Production Server Developer.
We really, really, really need you. Let’s not beat about the bush here: we’re pretty desperate.
If you are one of these awesome types of people, you should seriously consider joining us at Mm Towers, and becoming a Molecule, here’s just a small selection of the reasons why!
- You’ll be an integral part of a small team with a family vibe.
- Our new studio is really awesome and there’s a desk here with your name on it. Oh you don’t like that one? That’s fine we can move it somewhere else, it’s all good!
- We have a tip top benefits package that is bound to make your life better in oh so many ways
- We already love you to bits, and all want to be your friend
- The freezer is full of ice creams, your favourite ones
Go on, join the Molecule!
We need a production server developer!
2010February 9th
We posted this a while ago on the site - but when we got a new site, it got lost in the move. Never mind, we found it in a box and have unpacked it again. So, if you missed it the first time, here it is again :)
Here at Mm, we make the server software that lets the LittleBigPlanet community play, create and share. We provide scoreboards, ratings, favourites, tags, publishing services and search indices to millions of players (tens of thousands concurrent) and millions of levels. We often serve tens of millions of HTTP requests and over a terabyte of traffic in a day.
We need someone who knows what it takes to make big services like this go fast - reliably.
You will be using the following tools and techniques to help get our server technology ready for life as a high-volume production system:
- Continuous integration – including acceptance testing and performance testing
- Automated deployment
- Automated virtual server provisioning
- Automated everything else!
- Grown-up monitoring systems
- Helping design processes that interface with various teams in Mm and Sony
You will understand the value of (and hopefully be excited by) working on internal tech like this:
- A fast HTTP server with an embedded Ruby interpreter
- An in-memory, hierarchical key-value store with on-demand indices, eventually-consistent replication and sharding
- A Ruby web framework with a NeverBlock-style calling convention to the outside world, which makes adding features easy
- A simple RPC protocol that helps us write non-blocking, distributed systems
- Telemetry processing of lots of data using MapReduce
If you think this is what you’re looking for, we’d love to hear from you!
Nitty-gritty:
- We have server tech written in C/C++, Ruby and Perl. If you know a few different languages and are comfortable with learning and getting productive in other languages, that’s fine.
- We’d like you to be comfortable developing in, deploying to, getting stats from and tweaking Linux.
- The server team is very small (1.5 people right now), so you’ll be making a valuable contribution to both code and culture.
- We’ll be operating an on-call rota, but our engineering practices (hopefully) keep calls to a minimum!
We need a Network Programmer

We make all of our own technology and tools, with one single focus…… making a great game! This is a unique opportunity to be an integral member of an efficient games team; where designing ‘cutting-edge’ solutions directly helps make our game fun.
We are seeking a passionate, technically proficient Network programmer. Someone willing to ‘run with it’ and exceed our expectations, (and their own).
