• You will be involved in profiling and optimizing our game as well as assisting with debugging and the design of core systems.
• You should have a strong sense for developing simple, robust and performant systems.

In addition to outstanding technical knowledge, we are looking for a self-motivated individual with strong communication and collaboration skills.

• Experienced with automated testing, testable code, and robust test frameworks to ensure stability and performance.
• Have a great attention to detail.

Note: Research shows under-represented groups in the industry (especially women) might not apply to a job if they don’t check off every requirement. At Avalanche, we’re more about your drive to learn and interest in tackling challenges than what’s on your resume! So don’t stress if you don’t tick every box— shoot us your application anyway! Diverse opinions and different experiences are what make our teams so great, not itemized lists of qualifications.

The Stockholm location:

Our Stockholm office is situated in Södermalm, the beating heart of the city’s game industry. It’s a physical representation of our games – the lush vegetation of Just Cause and theHunter: Call of the Wild meets corroded metal straight out of Mad Max. It has everything you need to make it your creative base camp.

Our values:

At Avalanche Studios Group, we create worlds beyond limits. But that’s not exclusive to our games, so we’re committed to developing a diverse and inclusive workplace. All Avalanchers have a shared responsibility to create an open work environment where everyone is treated equally and respectfully. Being part of our world is not contingent on your heritage, your gender, or sexual orientation. It’s all about your passion and creativity.
