Games Workshop is hiring a new Techmarine with iOS experience to help them grow their new and existing apps- do you have what it takes?
Obviously, iOS might be a little rudimentary for a Techpriest, but if you have the skills, you can join the GW team and help them develop their apps for the future. They have hired a decent amount of developers in the past, but this time, it’s for a mid-level developer, so it doesn’t look like they are making any giant changes within the team.
Either way, will you be the one to get the iOS apps on point?
This is a home-based position, with some visits to the GW headquarters in Nottingham, UK. The job opening closes on Sunday, 17th September 2023.
Let’s take a look at the details!
