Game Programmer (Procedural Generation)

We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish game development studio with about 190 experienced and skilled employees. We are most well-known for developing the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and we launched the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years, but we still embrace the same values that we started with. We want to build the best first person co-op games together, in an approachable, fun and passion-driven way.

The role

Fatshark is looking to hire an experienced game programmer to join our experimental team for research & development work that will eventually pave the way for our future projects. We need you to be able to work in a small team to develop new state-of-the-art technology without losing sight of the end user, our level designers and artists. You’ll be working closely with level designers and artists, technical artists, and other engineers to build performant procedural systems to empower our content producers. Working in R&D will also require independence, flexibility, and fearlessness in attempting to tackle problems that have no clear-cut solutions.

• Provide good user experience; get to know the users and their pain points, and understand how you can best help them
• Educate users and keep good documentation of workflows and systems

Required qualifications

• 2+ years of professional working experience in game development
• Creative and self-sufficient: able to work independently, coming up with creative solutions to novel problems
• Experience using either C++, C# or Lua or other programming languages within game development
• Excellent communication in English
• Team player: you are flexible and adaptive, have a positive attitude and the ability to collaborate and inspire
• AI-curious
• Great passion for making games

Bonus qualifications

• Procedural generation experience (traditional, not AI)
• Education in programming or tech art
• Tools Development or UX Experience
• Level Design or Level Art experience
