Game Programmer

Do you want to be part of shaping the next evolution of Paradox Grand Strategy? 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.


About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Game Programmer with a strong C++ background, who understands strategy games and is driven by creating the best experience for the player.
You will be developing features and systems alongside designers and artists and fundamentally shape the games we release. You will have a high level of ownership over your work and it’s important that you can plan and manage it efficiently. We expect you to solve problems and provide guidance in the team using your knowledge. Focusing on player value and in getting things into the game is important to us and we’re motivated by seeing players spend time with our games.
We’re in development of a new Grand Strategy game and our programming team is small and very experienced. The team has a very open atmosphere where you’re encouraged to contribute in all aspects of the game and we regularly discuss technical design, game design and art direction. We’re primarily working from the office and value the collaboration and face to face conversations we can have in person, but we also see benefits in being flexible and being able to work from home.
If you want to make strategy games, intend to grow as a game developer and are interested in taking ownership of the features you develop, then make sure to contact us!

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.
