Senior Game Programmer, Hay

Hay Day team is stacked with great programmers who want to hire more great programmers to call them "my new favorite team member" and call upon you to join the quest of adding a little bit of fun to the daily lives of our hundreds of millions of players.

At Supercell, client programmers are at the heart of the team, working together with designers, artists, and other programmers to craft fresh, new experiences for our players. Coding features is of course your bread and butter, but you'll put on your designer hat and make a ton of calls on what goes into, and what doesn’t go into, the game.
You're someone who likes to decide what to do with the people you work with rather than being told what to do from above and create tremendous impact on a small team.

Our game programmers are mostly generalists
, so you can work on lots of different areas of the game. It’s important that you take pride in your work and know what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality and fun to players
. You are comfortable taking a feature from a vague idea on a post-it to a fully working and polished implementation.

We offer you a chance to join a team of professionals where talent feeds talent. We do not believe in bureaucracy or convoluted processes.
Game development is a team sport, so we work together to achieve the best results
. We trust each other’s skills and value each other’s work. All of us are driven by the amazing opportunity to make a game played by millions of players better and better. If this sounds exciting to you, then you might just be the person we are looking for!

• Craft great high-quality features and tech that help players enjoy our games more
• Be passionate about the game and contribute design ideas to help it be better
• Write robust code to be used by millions of players
• Work closely with the team on shared goals while individually delivering complete work

• Broad understanding of games programming
• Strong, professional experience using C++
• Equally capable building on top of existing code as creating new systems
• Passion to learn new skills and technology
• Passion for games
• A self-starter approach to use AI: you've found ways to use it in your day-to-day work, you experiment, figure things out and bring the same energy to every new challenge.

• Mobile development experience on iOS or Android
• Experience creating or working on a live-service title
• Experience with real-time, multiplayer games
• Ability to deeply optimize code for performance
• Deep experience in any of the following areas: mobile UI, gameplay, modern graphics tech, live-ops events

This role can be based either in our Helsinki or London Studio.

There will be some travel expectations with this role to help build relationships, as stakeholders are based in both locations.

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

No matter where you’re moving from, our dedicated mobility team and partners will support you throughout your move. We’ll ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and anyone joining you – whether they’re family members of the human or animal kind!

Wishing you all the best,

The Supercell Recruitment team
