J2ME Programmer Position

Company Introduction:
Tomo Software is developing an exciting and compelling community-based multi-player game that bridges the gap between online and mobile play. The game blends character development, community, competition, and customization into a visually rich and entertaining gaming application – this isn’t your typical mobile or online game. Through this and future applications, we will continually be incorporating cutting edge technologies (AI on the phone, Location Based Services, 3D graphics on the phone) and pushing the performance of mobile phones. We have an intense startup attitude with a casual work environment and are committed to being the leader in developing intuitive, intelligent, and personalized applications. This is your opportunity to play a significant role in an exhilarating startup and still earn a competitive salary with a full slate of benefits. We are located in Los Angeles, which brings with it everything Southern California has to offer: beach, sun, universities, mountains, and more entertainment than is reasonably healthy. We also have an office in Pittsburgh, PA and are willing to discuss a telecommuting arrangement.
