You get to tackle questions such as:
"How do we utilize player presence information to reliably show which of a player's friends are ready to play, without overloading the backend systems?"
"How do we design a set of matchmaking criteria that work for both small and large player populations?"
"How do we expose what things that the player should have access to (via purchases or other means) to the rest of the game code in a simple and reliable manner?"

Above & Beyond
Perhaps you bring more than your programming skills to the table? Do you often ask yourself not just "how", but "why", in a constructive manner?

Ready to level up? Come join us!
Do you believe that this could be your next quest? Great, we would love to hear from you! We ask that your application always include relevant work samples or a link to your portfolio, GitHub or similar. Furthermore, we really like to get to know YOU, so just be yourself and tell us why you are into gaming and what you actually enjoy doing.
* Note: We currently can't offer to relocate talent on a global level at this point in our quest. The capacity is simply lacking so we will primarily focus on talents already residing in Sweden on a temporary or permanent visa. This is something we, of course, hope to be able to offer in a not to distant future.
