New App Developer Job Opening at Games Workshop

 

Games Workshop is hiring, or trying to hire an App Developer presumably to push the Warhammer 40k App which was not received well by the community. (personally I think its because they ditched the digital codexes, not any reflection of how the app works). 

Got the skills... Give them a buzz and you can work remotely from anywhere in the world. Might be a good time to put the skills to work.
