The Application Process
Please send the following info to Careers@GameFi.com:

• Resume or LinkedIn (please include your GitHub and/or portfolio)
• Examples of mobile apps, games, or other interesting projects you’ve worked on
• In lieu of a cover letter, please include a 2-4 sentence answer to the following: what’s the best “hack” you’ve come up with? It does not need to be technical.
