About this role
As an ideal candidate, you enjoy managing your own time and tasks. You enjoy programming with high variety in your work tasks and as a senior you are expected to take on large and complex parts of the game. As we are a small-ish studio, you will be expected to be able to work with people across all disciplines within game development. We are looking for someone who has worked at least 5 years in the games industry. You are used to working in an agile environment with projects from the early stages of development and through the life cycle until release. We are currently working in Unreal Engine 4, which means you will be working mostly in C++. A solid understanding of C++ is a must and you should be comfortable with online multiplayer. Any experience with Unreal Engine 4, mobile or console development is a big plus, but not a requirement. You will work on features, systems, bugs and platforms for an unannounced digital game that will be released on multiple platforms. You will be asked to solve problems independently but you will always have the support and input from the development team. You will work in a multidiciplinary team and will work with people with different skills and workflows. Time estimates and progress reports will be done throughout the project. We are still a small-ish studio, and we’d like to stay that way. The games we make are the games we want to play. We strongly believe in staying independent so that we can continue on our own path. We like to work in smaller, more focused teams where everyone matters. Micromanaging is not our style, so everyone needs to take responsibility over their own work. Coffee Stain North is located in Stockholm, Sweden, one of the most gamer-centric cities in the country. We believe diversity is a good thing and that creativity thrives when different backgrounds and perspectives are brought to the table. So if you’re any sort of minority in the game industry then we definitely encourage you to apply. Diversity is something we are constantly striving for.
