  • Performing installations, repairs, maintenance, diagnosis & analysis of desktop related issues and liaising with third party vendors where necessary
  • Maintaining an overview of all hardware, cloud services, licenses and websites that we use today
  • Thinking ahead about the server and workstation systems needs of Playdead for the development, automation and release of our next game
  • Supporting and maintaining the security of internal Playdead systems, external partnerships and accounts

What we would like to see

  • Working knowledge of how to setup and run workstations, creating licenses and onboarding new employees
  • Broad knowledge of Windows servers, domain management and server virtualisation
  • Strong problem solving skills
  • You enjoy helping others and think about how to solve problems simply and effectively

We are open minded about the technologies we deploy and always open to consider new options to solve emerging challenges.



Who we are

We are a team of more than 100 creative professionals. We experiment and collaborate with a focus on creating new experiences, and as such we are looking for people who can help us achieve them.

Our approach to development does not include crunching towards arbitrary deadlines - instead, we particularly look for talented people who enjoy managing their own schedule and thrive on working within a friendly, collaborative environment.

We carefully craft games with obsessive attention to detail and are always on the lookout for others who share that passion.
