Senior Game Developer

Stockholm & Malmo
As a developer on one of our small, autonomous teams, you’ll create and improve on social casual games that entertain millions of players. It’ll be down to you to create design architecture and build high-quality, fun games for Mobile or Social audiences. It’s about working closely with your team – everyone from backend developers to artists and project managers – to deliver amazing player experiences. You’ll also get together with other developers to share your knowledge and learn from theirs in a creative, challenging environment where your ideas will be every bit as valued as your programming expertise.

On mobile, our games are developed using C++, while on browsers it’s Flash. Wherever your talents take you, the ability to write well-structured code on complicated code bases is a must. We also expect all our developers to be analytical and genuinely interested in understanding the whole tech stack. And, of course, you’ll need to know what makes a good game.

In return, we’ll offer you the chance to work in an agile environment where frequent, fast-paced releases mean you’ll see the impact of your work almost immediately.
