Job Details

Avalanche Studios Group is currently working on many exciting projects for our players. To continue doing so, we’re now looking for a Gameplay Engineer to join one of our prototyping teams.

As part of this team, you’ll play an important role in contributing to the creation of immersive and creative experiences. This is an opportunity to be at the forefront of innovation and experimentation while collaborating with our talented engineering team to leverage Unreal technology. The person we’re looking for will be based in either our Stockholm or Liverpool studio.

As a Gameplay programmer, you will work in our prototyping team and be responsible for driving core gameplay features, as well as collaboration between programmers and designers. 

What you'll do.

  • Experiment with game design and use rapid prototyping while having architectural and algorithmic decisions in mind
  • Work closely with design to create and iterate on gameplay features

  • Gameplay programming experience from shipping at least one game

  • Good communication and collaboration skills

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.

The Liverpool location

Our United Kingdom location is in Liverpool, a maritime city with a diverse blend of cultures and a plethora of museums, restaurants, pubs, nightlife, as well as a booming gaming scene. Liverpool’s storied history as a port city is ever-present, and within just an hour you’ll find wide sandy beaches, Chester Zoo, Martin Mere Nature Reserve, and the Southport Pleasureland amusement park. It’s a great city to visit and a perfect place to live.


Our values

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. Being part of our world is not contingent on your heritage, your gender, or sexual orientation. It’s all about your passion and creativity.
