At Tarsier you will be a part of creating entire worlds, and thanks to our ‘small-ish’ size, you will have the opportunity to work cross-discipline, broaden your experience, and really influence how these worlds take shape. Tarsier isn’t about hierarchy or keeping you at a distance. We appreciate people who want to help us make better games and a better company, so if you have something to say, then we want to hear it. We strive for an open, friendly and creative work atmosphere; where nobody feels different or out of place.

Currently employing approx. 60 people, Tarsier Studios is an independent game development studio based in Malmö, Sweden. Having worked with Sony and Media Molecule on various projects including LittleBigPlanet PS Vita and Tearaway Unfolded, the last few years has seen Tarsier make the transition to full independence.

2016 we celebrated our 10 year anniversary, and 2017 we saw the release of our first two original games – Statik and Little Nightmares. Both games were critically successful and show that there is an audience for the kind of games Tarsier want to make.
