Junction Point Studios seeks Audio Director
Founded by Warren Spector, Junction Point Studios (JPS) joined Disney Interactive Studios (DIS) in September of 2007 and is quickly growing.

Comprised of experienced game developers from places like Origin, Looking Glass, Electronic Arts, Sony, Sony Online, Digital Anvil, NC Soft, Rare and many more, we believe long-term success can best be achieved by delivering games of the highest quality – in game play and presentation, notably on time and budget.
