JOB DESCRIPTION

As a Senior Engineer, you’ll be at the heart of our most ambitious project — Vaultbreakers, a hardcore fantasy extraction ARPG — creating and evolving the core systems and tools that make the game possible and supercharge the entire development team. You will work in a small close-knit team of 5-6 highly experienced engineers, you being one of them.

Ideally, you are driven, self-motivated and not afraid to express your opinions or come up with suggestions for improvements. You must be ready to take responsibility and identify areas that could benefit from your talents. We want you to make your mark on our world and our team, and join a collaborative effort to raise the quality of the entire experience we deliver to the players.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

REQUIREMENTS:

• 6+ years of professional experience in the game industry.
• Strong proficiency in C#, including experience working with unsafe code.
• 2+ years of hands-on development experience with Unity3D.
• Deep understanding of software design principles, problem solving, and debugging.
• Experience with all stages of game development — from prototyping to post-launch.
• Experience developing cross-platform titles for PC and current-generation consoles.
  

PLUSES:

• Experience with cloud-based game development and infrastructure, ideally using Kubernetes.
• Familiarity with networking for fast-paced multiplayer games.
• Interest or experience in leveraging LLMs to boost productivity and workflows.
• Experience with the MVVM architectural pattern.
• A passion for pushing quality across all aspects of the game — from systems to tooling — and a desire to elevate the whole team.
• You love games and understand them not just as a developer, but as a player.
  

WHAT WE OFFER:

• 25 days paid vacation + national holidays
• 40 hours/year paid time off to take care of personal/practical stuff
• 37.5 hour work week
  
• Danish work-life balance
