Technical familiarity with Javascript, CSS and HTML
Experience optimising your work for stability and performance
Deep reverence for the principles of UI design
An eye for good UX design

To thrive in a programming position at Avalanche Studios, you need to have the drive to learn new tools and workflows. You have a positive attitude and contribute to a healthy team dynamic by seeing opportunities and highlighting limitations in a constructive way. You can communicate to clearly establish common goals and align expectations. You are ambitious and are interested in pushing the boundaries of our user experience but can also skillfully balance this with the realities and constraints of the situation at hand. 


We will only consider applications that consist of both a cover letter and a CV.

You share experiences and knowledge with each other, in order to learn and to be aligned on what makes the best UI and open-world experiences.
