Just A Little More About Wisdom Gaming: Wisdom Gaming produces a mix of in-house and white label esports broadcasts in a variety of games. So far, we've put on tournaments in Heroes of the Storm, Legends of Runeterra, Rocket League, Teamfight Tactics, Valorant and more -- with aspirations of going much further.

We pride ourselves on a few things:

1) Ensuring that the content we develop serves the scenes for which we're making them. This means hiring professional players, commentators, and other game experts to ensure that our content makes a game's given community happy.

2) Striving for a healthy work-life balance for our employees and their families. We know that working within the esports and production landscape means reserving some evenings and weekends for broadcasts. As such, we work with employees to establish alternative work schedules -- or at least take comp time after a busy week -- to compensate.

3) Our top-notch FFXIV raiding party. It takes seamless team synergy to save the land of Eorzea, and we feel that we've got the perfect Free Company for the task. However, we're always searching for new warriors to help our cause.

Wisdom is committed to full inclusion of all qualified individuals. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, disability, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, veteran status, or genetic information. As part of our commitment, Wisdom will ensure that persons with disabilities are provided reasonable accommodations.
