Senior Game Developer

Creating new games is a part of Rovio DNA and we are now looking for a Senior Game Developer to add to one of our growing teams working on a new action title. In this role you will work with a cross functional team and get the chance to impact the future of the full game experience, from the core loop to long-term retention systems. You are ready to bring in your own unique perspective and are able to jump in and help the team where it’s needed from implementing gameplay to tools, meta-game, UI and everything in between.

Our small team is agile, so be prepared to adapt when plans change, and embrace new tasks as they appear. We promise that there is always a fun challenge for you.

The majority of the team is today located in our studio in Izmir and we are also looking to expand the team to Barcelona, Spain. If you are in Türkiye but not in Izmir yet, we are able to support you with the move. If in Spain, we are able to provide work permit sponsorship if needed, but are not open to relocate to Spain at the moment.

You will have impact and fun at work by:

• Implementing, and maintaining both gameplay systems (controls, abilities, moment-to-moment mechanics) and meta features (progression, economy, matchmaking, live events).
• Helping the team to fix bugs, tune the game performance and optimise things that already exist in the game.
• Collaborating closely with design, art, and product to bring new features to life—from concept to final polish.
• Contributing with ideas and technical insight across the full game experience, from the core loop to long-term retention systems.
• Balancing rapid prototyping and experimentation with a passion for long-term code quality, scalability, and performance.
• Working as part of a small, fast-moving team, sharing knowledge and supporting others through code reviews and shared ownership.
• Ensuring a high-quality, smooth experience across devices, platforms, and network conditions.

Experience and skills we are looking for:

• Good programming skills, especially knowledge of Unity, C#
• Working experience building games, including a good understanding of game design and a feel for great user experience
• Proficiency in debugging, profiling and performance optimisation
• Broad knowledge of game architecture and technologies
• Good knowledge of SOLID principles and software development practices
• Knowledge of game architecture and technologies
• Good communication and collaboration skills
