Lead Game Programmer

Triband is the award-winning studio behind the WHAT THE? comedy game series, which is played by millions worldwide. From our home in central Copenhagen, more than 45 wonderful humans are united by a simple mission: to make everyone laugh.

We're starting a brand-new, unannounced project and looking for an experienced Lead Game Programmer for a new game.

How you will work

You will join a new project, and help take a game from early exploration all the way to Live Service. You will be part of a small team, where we all work hands-on and help each other out where we can.

Main responsibilities

• Technical ownership of the game and the architecture
• Technical approach and implementation of core systems
• Ensure a quality experience across platforms (we support everything from iOS to console and beyond)
• Make the technical implementations align with the game vision
• Making sure the game is great to work on

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in game development
• Experience working with mobile games
• You've worked on releasing games as part of a team
• Proficiency in C# and a deep knowledge of the Unity engine and editor

Bonus points

• Experience being a lead or key role programmer on a game
• Experience with building a game from nothing
• Experience with Xcode
• Experience with cool things like graphics performance optimization

Requirements for any job at Triband

• You thrive in taking ownership of your area: you spot problems, seek advice when needed, and implement creative solutions that push projects forward.
• You're motivated by collaboration, mutual respect, inclusiveness, and creativity, and you actively contribute to sustaining that culture.
• You value a positive work environment and contribute to making the studio a fun and supportive place.
• You have team production experiences, such as using version control software (we use git), branching, stand-ups, sprints, and reviews.

Practicalities

• We work a 37-hour work week, with flexibility built in so you can balance work and life.
• We work on-site at our cozy office in central Copenhagen.
• No crunch. People over deadlines.
• Our working language is English.

What we offer

• A strong focus on personal growth and professional skill development.
• 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.
• Paid parental leave, pension plan, and health Insurance (with family coverage available)
• Five weeks of vacation plus five extra days.
• Child's sick leave.
• Social activities such as hobby nights and Friday bars
• Daily lunch at a local restaurant with vegetarian/vegan options + soft ice on Thursdays
• And endless amounts of coffee.

Deadline and Start date

Apply before October 13, 2025, but don't wait too long. We'll review applications as they arrive.

We'd love for you to start soon, but the right match matters - we're happy to wait for the right person.

We encourage applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to apply. We believe diversity strengthens creativity and collaboration, and we strive to provide a safe and inclusive workplace.

WHAT THE TRIBAND?

We make people laugh! To do so, we focus on exploring comedy through gameplay. We like to break player expectations, use wonderful music, slick art, and create a quirky atmosphere. We experiment a lot, and it doesn’t always work out, but we always learn something.

We are currently 45+ people of 12 different nationalities. We put people first and strive to create a safe and creative working environment. We believe that teams, not individuals, make games - and we believe diversity makes for better teams. For these reasons, we look for people who make the team better, bring new perspectives, and will challenge us and our way of doing things!
