Are you an all-rounder when it comes to game programming? Are you curious to explore different solutions as part of a new team creating a world-class game? This might be an opportunity you don’t want to miss!

We are now looking for a Lead or Senior Programmer

We have recently kick-started a new project and your role as the Lead or Senior Programmer would be to create the technical backbone of the game as well as the technical production pipeline. You will provide technical solutions to the development team so they can carry out their vision and intentions into the game. You will develop engine, tools and systems to ensure the first prototype works and ultimately ensure the optimal and sustainable technical performance of the game and pipeline.

There is an opportunity to grow in the role to steer technical architecture and programming teams if that matches your career aspirations. The first year will be spent on hands-on programming work and we value an entrepreneurial mindset.

We offer you an opportunity to join a compact team of game developers to deliver a top-tier game with a new IP. The team has created the initial game idea and is now entering an exciting period of rapid prototyping. They are eagerly looking forward to welcoming you to their assembly and making things happen! We would also like to mention that we work in a hybrid model, enjoying the flexibility of both off- and onsite work. If you are living outside Finland, we might be able to explore the option of fully remote work.
