We get asked a lot about job openings at SEGA. If you’ve got some great online interactive development skills, we want to meet you!

We’ve currently got an opening in our San Francisco offices for a Senior Online Interactive Developer. This person will work with our online and community teams (that’s us!) and people across the organization to develop online interactive web content, including banners, promotions, games, and other applications. We’re looking for someone who can develop high-quality flash and general design work under tight deadlines, own projects, hit deadlines, and be cool to work with!

Ideally, this person will have 3-5 years experience and be an expert with Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator, ImageReady, video and sound editing. We’d also like this person to have a good working knowledge of web technologies, including HTML, CSS, Javascript, Freemarker, and JSP.

Of course, a passion for gaming and SEGA properties are also desirable, but I’m guessing that if you’re reading this blog, you’ve got that down already.

If you’re interested in this position, we’d love to hear from you. You can get all the details on our careers site and you can apply there as well. Just click “Apply for this position” at the bottom of the job posting.

With only a single day left until Phantasy Star Zero ships in the US, we’re bringing you all a new forum skin to celebrate the launch! You can check out the skin here in our Phantasy Star Zero forum.

5/5 Rappies approve.

The new skin is notably more blue than its PSU counterpart, and at the top you’ll find the logo and a cast of characters, with each of the three races represented. We hope you guys are all as excited as we are about this game finally arriving – on launch day, we’ll be unveiling even more new avatars, and also announcing our first exciting online PSZ event!

And just in case you haven’t heard yet, we’ve also launched the Official Phantasy Star Zero Community Website! You can check it out at www.sega.com/ps0 for lots of details about the game, classes, and a few hidden extras here and there. Last week we also added a new Visual Chat page, and this week things are really going to pick up.

We worked really hard to make sure the site is a lot more entertaining and fun to read than your average video game site, so we hope you all enjoy it!
