Is "we'll figure out the architecture later" your personal nemesis? Do you do your best work when the team moves fast and trusts you to make the technical calls?

As our new Lead Game Programmer, you'll take a new project from early exploration all the way to live service. Together with our Tech Director you'll be setting the technical direction, making pragmatic decisions with the project leadership team, and working closely with a fast-moving team that isn't afraid to change course. Most importantly, you'll have a lot of ownership here, which means contributing to defining the direction, not just following it.

Here’s what that looks like day to day

• Working with the cross-discipline leadership team to define strategy and roadmap for the project

• Defining the technical architecture and deciding what we build and how

• Setting up processes and workflows and making sure the team follows them

• Implementing and owning core systems across the full development cycle

• Making sure the game feels and performs great across platforms

• Writing code other programmers enjoy working with

• Keeping technical decisions grounded in the game vision

• Lead and mentor other programmers on the team

• Evaluate and audit third party technology

Must-haves

• At least 2 years in a similar role with experience shipping games as part of a team

• Strong C# and deep Unity knowledge, both engine and editor

• iOS native experience (Objective C, Swift)

• A communication and collaboration style that works across disciplines

• A pragmatic mindset. You've been through enough production cycles to know that done beats perfect, but you also know how to manage technical debt so early decisions don't come back to haunt us later-on

Nice-to-haves

• Familiarity with build pipelines like Jenkins

• Experience working on live games

• A good grasp of the Unity rendering pipeline

Practicalities

• We don’t offer relocation support or visa sponsorship for this role.

• We work a 37-hour work week, with core hours 10-15, and the freedom to start and finish anywhere between 7 and 18.

• We work on-site at our cozy office in central Copenhagen.

• No crunch. People over deadlines.

• Our working language is English.

We offer

• Silly but ambitious projects, and the chance to work on and impact great games that reach millions of players.

• A playful and ambitious work environment where experimentation is encouraged.

• Friendly and kind colleagues who love making each other laugh as much as making games.

• A professional development budget to invest in your growth.

• Social activities like Friday bars, hobby nights, board game nights, team events, you name it.

• Daily lunch at a local restaurant just a walk across the lakes away, with plant-based options (and soft ice on Thursdays).

• Six weeks of vacation (five standard plus one extra on us).

• Paid parental leave at full salary for the periods covered by state reimbursement.

• Child's first sick day on us, no questions asked.

• Pension plan and private health insurance.

• Endless amounts of coffee.
