What we’re looking for

We are looking for individuals who know how to code and wand to help us bring a customized server experience to life within the Minecraft game. We want people with at least an intro level experience/skills with coding in any language, as well as those willing, to learn new coding languages and programming skills. A great Developer is someone who is able to do a code project on their own and in a timely manner with high quality for the server using the tools and resources we provide.

Depending on the work being requested of Developers, they may be paid commission for their time and work efforts. This is determined and set by the Chief Technologies Officer. The development Leader may also be provided opportunities to promote into higher coding level positions Systems Coordinator.

Application Tips

Remember, when filling out an application it is always beneficial to tell us as much about you as you possibly can. When we read applications all we know about you is whatever you put into your application. It can be hard to get to know a person by reading about them, which is how we decide if we want to interview you in the next stage of the hiring process. 

If you have any previous experience it is always a good idea to upload pictures, videos, or other supporting documentation files to this application in the portfolio section. You add that extra WOW factor for us when we read your application, and it really helps us determine if you are the right choice for this position. If you do not have any portfolio experience to provide us, that is completely okay! We read every application with a fresh open mind and we are really simply looking for people who we know have the potential to do great things here at OneBigNation!

The last question in the application is Required for Developers! If you have a GitHub/Another portfolio repository with previous coding work to showcase- please link it in the last question box. If you do not have one you may use this box to brag about yourself or simply give us some fun facts about you and your life. Our team absolutely loves to read about everyone’s unique backgrounds and experiences!
