Pocket Gems, the San Francisco-based mobile studio, has been developing mobile games since its formation in 2009, and was one of the early pioneers of social and casual gameplay in the free-to-play space. 

But now, following a $60 million investment from Tencent in May 2015 and the release of its graphically rich real-time strategy game War Dragons, Pocket Gems' focus is on "AAA-quality, 3D game experiences."

Horses for courses

This new focus inevitably comes with new demands on the team, and as such Pocket Gems is currently advertising for a number of vacant positions in 'Core Games' roles - as distinct from what it calls 'Casual' or 'Broad Appeal Games' roles.

The open positions include Senior / Lead Game Designer, Art Director, Senior 3D VFX Artist, Narrative Director, and many more.

There are also a number of openings in 'Casual Games' at the company, including Creative Director, Senior UI Artist, and Product Manager. 

There's a substantial scattering of roles outside of development, too, with more vacancies in Accounting, Business, and Human Resources.

All of the roles are based in the firm's San Francisco headquarters.
