This job might no longer be available.
Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.
Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.
Why is this role important for us?
The user always comes first at Mojang, and we have a lot of users. We also have quite a few different teams – whom all work to bring the best gaming experience for all our users across different platforms and titles. This mix of teams, platforms and games has created a very complex web of UIs across Mojang. Our team is here to change all that. Our design system will help Mojang create a more streamlined UI with better performance using modern technology and most important of all – a better gaming experience for our players.
What can you expect from this role?
As a member of this team, you will be driving the architecture of our design system together with designers, C++ developers and producers at the desk next to you and across the globe!
You will help other teams implement and embrace our tech just as much as we do. You will bring suggestions and improvements from throughout the organization to discuss and develop with your team using the latest and the greatest when it comes to web technology – knowing that when you close down the lid for the day you made the life of our 100,000,000 players a little bit easier.
What we want you to bring to the team:
- Proficiency with JavaScript, React and preferably TypeScript.
- Experience of working in product teams that build experiences towards a
large customer base – performance is key. - Knowing and accepting that people are different – and love that.
- Strong communication and problem-solving skills, as well as a natural
collaborator and team player. - A value for the end user experience, having the user in mind when you
develop new features; if you identify potential issues, you bring them to
the team. - Passion about test automation and quality.

Mojang Studios is a Microsoft-owned game developer. The company was founded in Stockholm, Sweden and has offices around the world, including Stockholm, Redmond, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai. We’re always working on new and exciting ways to expand the Minecraft universe.
Our community is global and incredibly diverse. We keep this in mind when developing anything, as we want people to feel included in Minecraft. And in recruiting, our goal is to make Mojang Studios as diverse as our community.
We got started as a tiny indie developer, and part of our culture still reflects that heritage. But we’re also proud to belong to Xbox Game Studios, which creates unique opportunities to grow and develop.
To help us achieve amazing things, we have built an equally amazing studio space. Situated right on the water by Söder Mälarstrand, it’s filled to the brim with all the tools, toys and caffeine required to create world-class entertainment.
But in the end, it’s the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you’ll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals – all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
