Kojima Productions Hiring for the Next Metal Gear Project
I always thought it’d be cool to work on one of Konami’s Metal Gear projects, but until recently that would have been a difficult prospect. Konami always handled production of the series in-house, and since relocating to Japan would have been the first of many hurdles, I never gave it a second thought. Several years ago during his keynote at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco, Hideo Kojima announced that he was looking to expand his studio, and to embrace western development, and now it looks like he really meant it. Kojima Productions recently posted a recruitment page looking for candidates to work on their next Metal Gear project.
Positions are available in both Japan and California, and most of them won’t require you to speak both Japanese and English, so long as you can communicate well in either language. There seems to be quite a few positions they’re looking to fill, although they’re primarily interested in programmers. They’re also looking for artists, composers, and a brand manger. Finally, they’ll have a booth set up at this years Game Developers Conference, so attendees an apply in person if they wish. If you’re interested in the job requirements, visit official recruitment page for more info.
