Kabam is looking for Web/UI Designers to join our social gaming startup. We are over 70-strong, well-funded (backed by top-tier VCs and the world’s largest gaming company), profitable and offer a competitive salary, equity participation and benefits.
 
Kabam got its start building TV and sports fan community sites, and we recently turned our attention to creating innovative, engaging social games. Our first title, Kingdoms of Camelot, has garnered top ratings and a strong (and growing) following on Facebook, and several titles are poised to continue that success.
 
Note: We’re growing aggressively, but carefully. We’re extremely selective, with an emphasis on smarts, ethics and positive attitude. And we believe in small teams working collaboratively to build great products. If you are looking to make an impact on (and share in) the success of our business, work with a talented team, and have a little fun in the process, please send us your information. We’d like to meet you.

You will get to create clear and attractive messaging, buttons, icons, and other UI elements which work well with a wide variety of game themes, from vary cheerful and casual to gritty and more targeted at core gamers.
