Lead Game Engineer - Sweden

<h1>House of How Games</h1> We believe that a universe without fun would be a pretty dull place to exist… and that games are the best medium in the world to provide that fun. We love games which is why we make games. We make games to be a part of providing that outlet for escape, competition, exploration, social connection and so much more to a global audience of 3B+ players and growing. We believe in authentic leadership, real conversations, making decisions, learning from mistakes but always continuing to move forward. We don’t want big company politics. We just want to do our best work with good people and have fun doing what we love. We believe that our team performs best when everyone shows up as their authentic full self and we strive to empower everyone in the studio to be a game-maker. We encourage everyone to have an entrepreneurial mindset and we foster continuous learning and innovation. In a time of so much industry consolidation, House of How is proud to be fully independent. We are based out of Seattle, Washington with remote game-makers all across North America, from British Columbia to New England, and we have a satellite studio in Boden, Sweden. Starting out as colleagues at Microsoft Games, our leads worked with each other for years before setting out on a new adventure together. From humble beginnings, we grew slowly and carefully to ensure we could control our own destiny. We are now at 75+ people and growing rapidly as our industry reputation is bringing more and more projects to the studio. Come join our team and be part of the amazing growth story of House of How Games and help us to entertain the planet! <h1 id="job-description">Job Description</h1> House of How is looking for a Tools Developer to help build cutting-edge high-impact tools that streamline game development and creative workflows.

You’ll collaborate with senior developers, artists, and designers to help create new video game asset creation and management tools that are fundamentally more powerful than anything available today. Many of these tools will integrate with generative AI systems and support both technical and non-technical users, so an ability to think across systems, services, and user experience is key. You can expect an iterative/prototyping environment with an emphasis on experimentation that leads to polished user experiences. This is a 4-6 month contract position with potential for full-time employment. <h1 id="responsibilities">Responsibilities</h1> <ul> <li>Connect disparate tools across multiple platforms (e.g., web, desktop, Python, Node/React, CLI tools).</li> <li>Collaborate with artists, designers, and engineers to understand their needs and create powerful, user-friendly solutions.</li> <li>Integrate generative AI backends (LLMs, image generation, vector search, etc.) and other novel solutions.</li> <li>Create responsive and maintainable UI using modern frameworks (e.g., React).</li> <li>Participate in prototyping and experimentation, particularly around new workflows or AI-powered features.</li> <li>Write clear, maintainable code and contribute to internal documentation and code reviews.</li> <li>Support existing tools and iterate on improvements based on user feedback.</li> </ul> <h1 id="requirements">Requirements</h1> <ul> <li>4+ years of professional experience in software development, with a strong foundation in tools development.</li> <li>2+ years in modern mobile or web UI development.</li> <li>Proficiency in at least one major language (e.g., Python, TypeScript, Javascript, C#, or C++).</li> <li>Experience building interactive web-based user interfaces.</li> <li>Solid understanding of software design principles, debugging, and development best practices.</li> <li>Familiarity with integrating APIs or services (e.g., REST, GraphQL).</li> <li>Ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively across technical and non-technical disciplines.</li> <li>Written and spoken English fluency.</li> <li>Cleared to work and located in the United States, Canada, or the Western US (Pacific Timezone).</li> </ul> <h1 id="bonus-qualifications">Bonus Qualifications</h1> <ul> <li>Experience working with or building around generative AI models (OpenAI, Stable Diffusion, vector databases, etc.).</li> <li>Experience developing software in Typescript and Python.</li> <li>Experience in graphics pipeline (BabylonJS, THREE.js, WebGL, etc.), animation tools, and data visualization.</li> <li>Experience in game development with Unity or Unreal.</li> </ul> <h1 id="compensation">Compensation</h1> Although we’re a relatively small-and-growing remote team, we work hard to offer competitive rates regardless of location.
