  • Coordinating with our external partners
  • Sharing information & reporting to the team and stakeholders
  • Developing people in their craft

      What we offer:

      At Tarsier, it's important that our office is welcoming and fun so that our employees want to work onsite; because we believe that working closely with your team is the best way to make great games. That is why our Office Management and People & Culture-department work closely together to make our office a really great place to both work and hang out in. We have a large focus on ergonomic, personal work stations, we eat breakfast together on Wednesdays, and we play games together in the game room. Sometimes we even grab an after work beer together in the kitchen, or throw a Christmas party for the ages.

      Our benefit package includes:

      • Pension & insurances
      • 30 days of vacation
      • Overtime pay
      • Flexible working hours
      • Wellness contribution to use for gym memberships, swimming, crossfit, bouldering, dance classes, massage and much more
      • Healthier half hour - 30 minutes of your work day to spend on getting healthier
      • Health Insurance - access to preventive health care such as physiotherapy, counseling etc.

        We believe that you have:

        • Previous experience in a Senior or Lead QA role
        • Experience leading or managing people
        • Experience with testing premium video games for current generation of consoles
        • Experience with Unreal Engine
        • Understanding of best practices in QA
        • Great communication and interpersonal skills
        • Drive to improve yourself, the team and processes
        • Deep understanding of various roles in game development
        • An always-learning mindset
        • A passion for video games and testing

          It’s a bonus if you also have:

          • Experience with JIRA or other bug reporting systems

            Applicants must hold a Swedish or EU/EEA citizenship or valid work permit for Sweden as we are unfortunately unable to support relocation from outside the EU at the moment.

            This position is full time onsite in the office in Malmö, and will start with a trial period.

            Currently employing around 70 people, Tarsier Studios is a game development studio based in the vibrant city of Malmö, Sweden. We are the developers of Statik and the award winning Little Nightmares franchise. At Tarsier, it’s the games that drive us. Quality above all else. Interesting ideas executed to perfection. We want people to be proud of the work they do here, and to finish each project feeling as though they’ve pushed their abilities to the next level. That, of course, requires hard work and talent in equal measure, and we look for both of those things when recruiting new team members.

            We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and genders, and look forward to hearing from you!

            About The Company

            Currently employing around 60 people, Tarsier Studios is an independent game development studio based in Malmö, Sweden. Having worked with Sony and Media Molecule on various projects including LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and Tearaway Unfolded, the last few years has seen Tarsier make the transition to full independence. 


            2017 saw the release of both Little Nightmares and Statik, Tarsier’s first two original titles. Little Nightmares II was released February 11th, 2021. With both games wildly different from each other in both style and gameplay, the answer to ‘what makes a Tarsier game?’ remains refreshingly unknown and hugely exciting. 


            The unveiling of The City of Metronome at E3 2005 put Tarsier Studios on the map as a developer with a unique vision, and the talent to make that vision a reality.
