Hiring a CFO and our first internal Promotion!
First off, we're hiring a CFO. The job description is HUGE, but that's because the job is HUGE. If you think you're the kind of person that can tackle such a HUGE job, then by all means, apply now!
Secondly, I'm very pleased to announce that Kevin Saffel has been promoted from Director of Engineering to Chief Technology Officer!
Kevin has a great attitude, is highly reliable, very driven and detail-oriented. He's also a great friend.
Here's to you, Kevin.
In other news, the Heatwave team is growing rapidly and we're moving into our temporary space while our permanent offices are being fit out. We've had many qualified applicants for our Studio Art Director and Concept Artist positions. Interviews will be completed next week and the offers will go out, so if you haven't applied, you'd best do so now.

Heatwave is hiring!
Heatwave has just reached an important milestone. After a year of successfully bootstrapping ourselves consulting for an undisclosed three-letter-media company on the East Coast and several other gaming entities, Heatwave is breaking out on its own. We've decided to exchange the bootstrapping approach for a more aggressive one by raising a serious round of capital. That work has been in earnest since the fall of last year.
Last Tuesday, the first monies from that effort hit our corporate account. I'm sure that the details of that experience would be interesting and valuable to many, so I'm in the process of reconstructing it now. Once all the concerns are finalized, there will be all the usual pomp and ceremony (otherwise known as a press release and a re-launch party!).
In the meantime, we’re currently in the process of choosing our first physical office location. Until now, we’ve all been working virtually, which is a euphemism for “at home.” That’s been an interesting experience all around, with many pros to go with the cons, but the team is certainly ready to check out the alternative. ;)
In addition, we’ve begun a new round of hiring in earnest, which starts this week. We’ll be updating the Heatwave website with all of the job descriptions and requirements, but just to prime the pump, here’s a simple list of some of the positions we’re currently hiring for the Central Studio:
- Chief Financial Officer
- VP of Marketing
- Executive Producer
- Art Director
- Senior Animator
- Senior Modeler
- Concept Artist
- Web Designer
- Web Developer
Heatwave is a fully funded entity and all members of the Central Studio will be offered stock options along with highly competitive salaries (we’ve always paid well, even in bootstrap mode). If you’re interested in learning more, send email to jobs@heatwaveinteractive.com with the job title in the subject.
