Tools programmer

We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish game development studio with about 150 experienced and skilled employees out of Stockholm. We are most well-known for developing the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and will soon be launching the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years but we still embrace the same values that we started with and still think of ourselves like one big family with fun at the center. We are known for our crazy internally designed socks, hackweeks, use Friday afternoons for studio-wide “social play” time and our CEO is not beneath fixing the coffee machine himself. It all adds up to an approachable, fun, passion-driven yet communal environment for us to work in.

The role

At Fatshark we use our own inhouse game engine called Stingray. You will be a part of our Tools team - a small team of programmers dedicated to keeping the tools related to our inhouse engine up to date and relevant. Tools such as level editor, localization or shader editors.

Your main focus will be on improving the tools stability and speed in order to improve our coworkers workflow and make their job easier. We work with many programming languages and technologies, but as long as you’re proficient in similar tech, such as Ruby, C# and WPF, we’re sure we can help you adapt and learn.

What we offer

• A playful, friendly and inclusive work place
• Hands-on production environment with an emphasis on cooperative/multiplayer games
• Opportunities for personal growth with varied projects, experienced co-workers and recurring hack weeks
• Developing games with our own engine - Stingray
• Regulated flex time and paid overtime
• Occupational pension
• Yearly health benefits (for gym membership & more)
• Health checkups once every second year
• Yearly bonus program
• Office located in central Stockholm

What you'll do

• You will be responsible for stability and functionality of our different toolchains
• Implement and manage various content creation tools (from localization to level editors)
• Create and improve workflows for artists, programmers and other game developers
• Be directly involved in UX design and implementation of said workflows

Required qualifications

• Experienced and proficient in programming
• Proficient in C++, C# or similar language
