Want to Work for Full Tilt Poker?
If you have ever fantasized about working for a company as it rises from the ashes, now is your chance. Full Tilt Poker is hiring! Rational FT Services Ltd, the company that controls all things Full Tilt, has a number of job postings listed on its website. Most, as one might guess, are in the Information Technology Department. The company is seeking people to fill roles such as SQL DBA, C++/Java Developer, Linux Engineer, and MS.Net Framework Software Engineer.
All told, there are nine positions listed on the Rational FT Services careers site. Those who aren’t hardcore techies may be interested the other two jobs posted: Promotions Manager and Product Business Analyst, both in the Marketing Department.
It appears that the jobs are located at the Rational FT Services headquarters, which is in the Cherrywood Science and Technology Park in Loughlinstownin the southern part of Dublin.
According to the Rational FT Services website, the company will manage Full Tilt Poker’s website as well as the online poker room itself once it is re-launched. The services it provides are software development and maintenance, marketing, poker room management, operations, gaming compliance, human resources, and facilities administration. The company says that it handles all media partnerships and manages all games, promotions, rewards programs, player communications, and security.
Just a bit over a month ago, at the end of July, a new chapter was turned for Full Tilt, as its one-time arch rival, PokerStars, agreed to a $731 million deal with the U.S. Department of Justice that resulted in the acquisition of Full Tilt Poker’s assets and the eventual repayment of all of its customers.
Also in the cards is a re-launch of Full Tilt Poker, planned for November, hence the employment opportunities.
These aren’t the first Full Tilt-related job postings since the U.S. DOJ settlement. In August, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York posted its own “help wanted” sign, seeking a Claims Administrator to “design and execute a process to solicit, receive and evaluate claims, and to process payments, for losses incurred by U.S. victims” of Full Tilt Poker.
The posting wasn’t really for an individual person, though, as the size of the job is almost certainly too big for someone to handle alone. With an estimated 1.3 million American players waiting for $159 million (PokerStars is paying players from other countries directly), the Claims Administrator will likely have to be a company dedicated to this sort of work.
