About Star Stable Entertainment

Once upon a time in 2011, the founders of Star Stable Entertainment had a vision. They wanted to create a game that could make a difference. Although half of gamers are girls and women, they were under-represented in the gaming industry, both as characters and creators. We dreamed of an epic online world where tween and teen girls could share an amazing experience. And we wanted to challenge how things were done in a male-dominated industry. Fast forward to today, and our dream has come true tenfold - Star Stable Online stands as one of the most popular MMORPGs globally! At our HQ on Södermalm, our 130 employees are thrilled to continue to welcome players to the island of Jorvik, with its breathtaking scenery, beautiful horses, and magical quests. It’s wonderful to see that our dream resonates with so many players around the world, and we can’t wait to share more stories and experiences with them!

The position

Your role is to design and implement experiences for our live game in the form of new content and features.

As a game designer responsible for maintaining and creating content, you will work in close collaboration with your peers and supervisors, both within your craft and cross-collaborative projects.

- Strive to understand our players' perspective and learn about the impact our content has on the community through player feedback, KPIs, and so on.

- Document your work and share your learnings with your peers.

We think you have

- Previous 3+ years experience working as a game designer, particularly designing and implementing content.

- Experience working with commercial or proprietary game engines and tools.

- Understanding of game design principles and their impact on the player experience.

- Previous experience scripting is a plus, as well as interest in programming, excel and/or audio.

- Strong collaborative mindset and knowledge of how to work well in an agile team environment.

- Excellent verbal and written English communication skills.

- A permit to work in Sweden.

- Awesome (but not required!) if you have previous experience with horse riding.

Perks for joining us?

  • A pretty sweet mission. We are developing the world's best horse-riding game for girls and we take that vision very seriously. We strive to hit that mark every single day.

  • Diverse team with 50/50 split women and men.

  • 30 vacation days (+ 3 additional squeeze days).

  • A pension and insurance plan that mimics ITP1 and a parental pay top-up @90%.
