We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish game development studio with about 180 experienced and skilled employees. We are most well-known for developing the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and we launched the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years and are almost two-hundred “Sharks” now, but we still embrace the same values that we started with. Come into our world, a world known for our crazy internally designed socks, hackweeks, and Friday afternoons for studio-wide “social play” time. It all adds up to an approachable, fun, passion-driven yet communal environment for us to work in.

The role

At Fatshark we mainly use our in-house game engine called Stingray. You will be a part of our Tools team, a team of programmers dedicated to keeping the tools related to our engine up to date and relevant. Tools such as level, material, and localization editors.

The Tools team is a small and flexible team, where all members’ opinions are highly valued and considered. We discuss and reason about code on a daily basis, and share our experiences to improve as a team.

Your main focus will be to create new tools and improve on existing ones, with the goal to better our coworkers’ workflow and making their jobs easier.

We work with a common array of programming languages and technologies. Our tools and engine are built using a stack of C++, C# and WPF, with the addition of certain script languages like Lua and Python. We would like to see that you are proficient in the usage of similar technology stacks.

If you are a coder with a passion for helping people, this role is for you.
