The quest
We are well on our way with our current title ALARA Prime (https://www.youtube.com/c/ALARAPrime), which was revealed (pre-alpha) just this July!

You'll be part of our code crew (12 peers) but collaborate cross-functionally with people from different crafts, primarily art and design. Together with our current three experienced UI Programmers you will create and improve the player-facing aspects of our upcoming competitive FPS. Including everything from HUDs and menus to in-world visualizations, and surrounding systems such as systems connected to social play and persistence.

As a senior member of our crew, we also expect you to be proactive and use your previous experiences to question our current way of working with UI. As part of your daily job, you will give your input on UI/UX design. We also expect that you mentor and guide others when needed.

The project:

ALARA Prime is our competitive multiplayer FPS with a twist. Here you can find out what the game is all about on our ALARA Prime page (https://www.falldamagestudio.com/pages/alara-prime?utm_campaign=page_1842407_cta_16749421&utm_content=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.falldamagestudio.com&utm_medium=cta-block&utm_source=teamtailor-page), YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/c/ALARAPrime) and at https://www.playalara.com/

At Fall Damage we believe in potential and diversity, so in other words, we like to get to know YOU. Be yourself and tell us why you are into gaming and/or tech and what parts you actually enjoy doing in your role.

What about relocation?
If you're an EU citizen authorized to work in Sweden, we're all for it! We handle relocations on a case-by-case basis but will be able to assist with the most important part, which is finding a home for you. Unfortunately, we don't have the capability to offer work-permit solutions for non-EU citizens at the moment, something we hope to be able to provide as we grow in the future.
