Founded by Warren Spector, Junction Point Studios (JPS) joined Disney Interactive Studios (DIS) in September of 2007 and is quickly growing.

Comprised of experienced game developers from places like Origin, Looking Glass, Electronic Arts, Sony, Sony Online, Digital Anvil, NC Soft, Rare and many more, we believe long-term success can best be achieved by delivering games of the highest quality -- in game play and presentation, notably on time and budget. While hard work and commitment to quality is important, quality of life is equally important and our goal is to create an environment that fosters a superior work/life balance.

We are currently seeing experienced applicants in the following areas:

• Tools Programmer
• AI Programmer
• Graphics Programmer
• Game Programmer
• Character Modeler
