Gameplay Programmer Unnanounced Grand Strategy Game

Join us in pioneering the next evolution of Paradox Grand Strategy, where your creativity and passion for games drive exceptional player experiences! We are in development of a brand new non-historical game led by veterans from several of our previous titles such as Hearts of Iron 4 and Crusader Kings 3, going all the way back to Europa Universalis 3.

Your mission

We're looking for a C++ Game Programmer who thrives in collaborative environments and is eager to take on challenges. The perfect candidate is someone who understands strategy games and wants to create the best experience for the player. We value prior experience from playing or modding our games, but a general interest in game design and UX is also good.

For this role we will prioritize candidates that already are located in Sweden.

We’re entering the production phase of development on a new Grand Strategy game and we have a programming team with a lot of experience. Our team champions an open culture where you’re encouraged to contribute in all aspects of the game and we regularly discuss technical design, art direction and game design. We’re encouraging every team member to play an important role in our games success. You will be supported in your work by your tech lead and more senior programmers. The team works mainly from the office, where we find collaboration to be at its best, but there are also options to work remotely on some days.

If you’re passionate about making strategy games, want to take ownership of the features you develop, and grow alongside a team of experts, then make sure to contact us!

• A drive to learn and grow into more responsibility and ownership over time

Paradox Development Studio

At Paradox Development Studio we enjoy working close to our products and our fans and our developers regularly interact with players through forums and events, such as PDXCon. We think it’s important to get to know our colleagues so we end each Friday with a social hour at 4pm where we embrace our nerdy culture by chatting over a beer or breaking out into meeting rooms with board games and old video game consoles.
