Position

You have a good feel for what makes a great video game character and you understand the importance of detail, finesse and subtlety in turning an amorphous bunch of pixels into a living persona. Like any great programmer, you thrive on solving problems and exploring new ways to raise the bar even further, all the while ensuring that the entire code base stays clean, efficient and functional, even over the long term.
