Senior Game Programmer, Clash of Clans

We’re looking for a Game Programmer to join the one and only Clash of Clans team! At Supercell, client programmers are at the heart of our teams, working together with designers, artists, and other programmers to craft fresh, new experiences for our players. As well as coding features, you'll put on your designer hat and make a ton of calls on what goes into, and what doesn’t go into, the game. You're someone who likes to decide what to do with the people you work with rather than being told what to do from above.

Our game programmers are mostly generalists, so you can work on lots of different areas of the game. It’s important that you take pride in your work, and know what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality and fun to players. You are comfortable taking a feature from a vague idea on a post-it to a fully working and polished implementation. Ideally the UX/UI topic is also something that's dear to your heat.

We offer you a chance to join a team of professionals where talent feeds talent. We do not believe in bureaucracy or convoluted processes. Game development is a team sport, so we work together to achieve the best results. We trust each other’s skills and value each other’s work. All of us are driven by the amazing opportunity to make a game played by millions of players better and better. If this sounds exciting to you, then you might just be the person we are looking for

Responsibilities

• Craft great high-quality features and tech that help players enjoy our games more
• Be passionate about the game and contribute design ideas to help it be better
• Write robust code to be used by millions of players
• Work closely with the team on shared goals while individually delivering complete work
  
  
  

Requirement

• Broad understanding of games programming
• Strong, professional experience using C++

• Passion for games
  
  
  

Nice-to-haves

• Experience creating or working on a live-service title
• Experience with real-time, multiplayer games

• Ability to deeply optimize code for performance
  
  
  

Benefits And Compensation

However, luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.

We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

About Supercell

We are a game company based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've released six games globally – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters.

To make six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. To achieve this goal, we put together the best possible teams and give them the freedom and independence to succeed.

You Might Love It Here...

If you love games, Supercell is the place for you. We're made up of proactive, independent teams that have the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games, and the company.

We know it takes more than trust and independence to make great games, so we also take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment and resources they need to succeed and have fun while at it.

This position is in Helsinki, but you're not?

Luckily, moving to Helsinki is easier than you might think. No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end. We're here to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you, your family and whoever and whatever you bring along. In addition to cats and dogs, we've even relocated a horse.

Not sure if you should apply?
