As a Gameplay Programmer on this project you will work with our designers to conceive of and implement elements of scripted and emergent world content, combat and activities. You will develop and maintain the tools and systems necessary for designers to create missions, build complex gameplay mechanics and tweak and balance the game. Your work will take you all over the codebase from underlying systems to weapons, from character mechanics to world interactions, from physics to VFX. In order to fully realise a feature or a section of gameplay, it is necessary to work closely with an array of disciplines.

What you will do
- Foster a collaborative environment and work with designers, animators and other coders in order to create and deliver features
- Maintain a high standard of code quality and robustness
- Participate in code reviews and mentor less experienced peers on the team
- Work in a development environment with shared code and contribute with continuous improvements to our shared tech
Who you are
- You write readable and robust code in C++, and have deep experience writing performant code.
- You understand what makes games fun and are passionate about creating fun, unique, and compelling user experiences
- Have strong knowledge of gameplay code, systems and mechanics
- Strong communication skills and ability to work in a team
- It’s a plus if you have experience with in-house engine(s) and experience of being part of a full product cycle
Note: Research shows under-represented groups in the industry (especially women) might not apply to a job if they don’t check off every requirement. At Avalanche, we’re more about your drive to learn and interest in tackling challenges than what’s on your resume! So don’t stress if you don’t tick every box— shoot us your application anyway! Diverse opinions and different experiences are what make our teams so great, not itemized lists of qualifications.
The Stockholm location
Our Stockholm office is situated in Södermalm, the beating heart of the city’s game industry. It’s a physical representation of our games – the lush vegetation of Just Cause and theHunter: Call of the Wild meets corroded metal straight out of Mad Max. It has everything you need to make it your creative base camp.

At Avalanche Studios Group, we create worlds beyond limits. But that’s not exclusive to our games, so we’re committed to developing a diverse and inclusive workplace. All Avalanchers have a shared responsibility to create an open work environment where everyone is treated equally and respectfully.
