Producer (Game Development)
About The Position
Classic video games deserve better. At Digital Eclipse, we treat them with the same care and respect given to other artistic mediums. In its original incarnation in 1994, Digital Eclipse pioneered accurate video game re-releases, emulating vintage arcade games well before “emulation” was a household word. 30 years later, we’ve been reborn as a new kind of studio - one dedicated to not only restoring gaming’s heritage, but to preserving it and keeping it alive and available for future generations. We've launched critically acclaimed titles like Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Cowabunga Collection, and Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, while also developing successful original IPs like #IDARB and collaborating with industry leaders such as Capcom and Disney. And we're just getting started. As a Producer, you'll work with the Digital Eclipse team across a variety of upcoming projects. You'll collaborate with a cross-discipline team to craft our documentary-style, classic game compilations as well as totally original titles and help take these projects to the finish line, solving problems and improving our internal development processes along the way. You'll report to the Head of Production and interact directly with all disciplines of the development team. The ideal Producer candidate is organized, proactive, has great communication skills, and consistently wants to learn and improve.
