About Star Stable Entertainment

Once upon a time in 2011, the founders of Star Stable Entertainment had a vision. They wanted to create a game that could make a difference. Although half of gamers are girls and women, they were under-represented in the gaming industry, both as characters and creators. We dreamed of an epic online world where tween and teen girls could share an amazing experience. And we wanted to challenge how things were done in a male-dominated industry. Fast forward to today, and our dream has come true tenfold - Star Stable Online stands as one of the most popular MMORPGs globally! At our HQ on Södermalm, our 130 employees are thrilled to continue to welcome players to the island of Jorvik, with its breathtaking scenery, beautiful horses, and magical quests. It’s wonderful to see that our dream resonates with so many players around the world, and we can’t wait to share more stories and experiences with them!

The position

We are looking for an experienced Technical UX/UI-Designer with an eye for quality and great design to join our UX/UI craft. The craft is small and cross-functional, requiring its members to be highly cooperative as well as excellent communicators and listeners. We are responsible for all the UX/UI in the game, web, and launchers, working with several different teams to create a great user experience for players from start to finish.

The team's small size gives all members a lot of independence and influence over the work. We support each other, challenge each other's designs as a craft, and, of course, experiment and take risks together. At Star Stable there are many projects ongoing for the craft, offering opportunities to make an impact and pursue your passion.
