About this role

About SupercellWe’re Supercell—straight outta Helsinki, with outposts in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You’ve probably heard of us through games like Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, or Squad Busters. Our mission? To make mighty-fine games that are played by millions, loved for years, and remembered forever.

How do we do it? Simple: We build legendary teams, hand them the reins, and empower them to dream big (and sometimes fail in spectacular, hilarious fashion). We believe good games come from good people who take risks, share learnings, and aren’t afraid to shut down that game where everything talks.

What You’ll Be Up ToTeam up with designers, artists, and tech wizards to cook up amazing game features (plus the secret sauce that glues them together).

Sling reliable, high-quality C++ code faster than a goblin steals gold.

Design, optimize, and maintain tasty code and systems that scale to millions of players—and their cats.

Pitch in on brainstorming sessions—no idea is too wild, and bad puns are highly encouraged.

Hunt down bugs and chase that sweet 60fps everywhere you go.

The Kind of Human We’re Hoping ForYou’ve leveled up your C++ skills in the wild world of game development.

Problem-solving is your jam, and you know your way around a codebase (even the scary, spaghetti kind).

You love making—and playing—games and want to work somewhere where craziness and creativity run wild.

You’re a team player, happy to share wisdom or bravely admit when you have no idea what’s happening (it happens to all of us).

Bonus XP

You’ve danced with live-service or multiplayer games.

Building custom engines or working across platforms? Even better!

Got a superpower in graphics, networking, or UI? Show us!

Why You'll Love It HereIndependent Cells & Silly Jokes

We work in small, mighty, autonomous teams we call “cells” (they reproduce via stand-ups). Trust and fun are built into our DNA, and we always have time for a meme or three.

You Are Not Your Job Title™

Here, it’s about what you do, not what’s on your email signature. No fancy-pants prefixes, no ego. Bring your ideas, not your titles.

Benefits & Perks

Forget bedazzled job ads—we offer real, generous benefits because you’re a person, not a robot (unless you are a robot, in which case, cool!).

Relocation Squad Engaged!

Moving? We’ll help pack your laptop, your pet, and every flavor of salmiakki. Our mobility team will make sure your journey here is epic (minus the boss fights).

Still Unsure? Apply Anyway!

Nobody’s perfect. If this role gives you butterflies, throw your hat in the ring! If you need extra support in the process, let us know—we’re all about making moves fun for everyone.

Sending lots of high-fives, The Supercell Recruitment Team

About Supercell Supercell is a games company from Helsinki, Finland, with offices also in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You might know us as the makers of Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever.

So, how do we make great games? By putting together the best teams and giving them the freedom and independence to succeed. And by taking risks, failing, sharing learnings, and killing lots of projects.

Hey, You Might Love It Here!Independent cells and trust are at the core of our culture. But it takes more than that to make great games. We take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed while having fun along the way.

You Are Not Your Job Title ™Here, you won’t need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define the impact you can have around here.

Benefits and Compensation Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

Relocation? Yes!No matter where you’re moving from, our dedicated mobility team and partners will support you throughout your move. We’ll ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and anyone joining you – whether they’re family members of the human or animal kind!

Not Sure if You Should Apply? Many candidates with great skills and experience second-guess themselves. The bar is high, but if this role excites you, apply! We’re here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you may need to fully engage in our recruitment process.

Wishing you all the best, The Supercell Recruitment team
