Job description

SYBO is part of the Miniclip family and known for the widely popular game, Subway Surfers - the most downloaded mobile game in the world, with over four and a half billion downloads. Located in the heart of Copenhagen, we aim to create playful moments that inspire our fans to care.

Hundreds of millions of players play Subway Surfers each month, and enjoy smooth gameplay, new features and a concept that’s now worked for over fourteen (Yes, 14!) years - and we’re looking for a talented Game Engineer to keep the fun going for years to come.

As a Game Engineer on Subway Surfers, you’ll work closely with engineers, designers, artists, and other disciplines to take ideas from concept through implementation and into the hands of the above-mentioned hundreds of millions of players. You’ll have the opportunity to take ownership, contribute to technical decisions, and help us continuously improve both the game and the way we build it.

Working with LiveOps lets you get instant feedback on your work - working with one of the largest LiveOps games makes it unique.

Life at SYBO

• In your first month, you’ll get to know SYBO, Subway Surfers, our technology, and how the team works. You’ll work closely with the Technical Owner, Engineers, Designers, and Artists on the game team, familiarize yourself with the codebase and development pipeline, and start contributing to your first features.
• In your first three months, you’ll be contributing independently to features and content and taking an active role in the team’s development process. You’ll participate in technical discussions around implementation, system design, and architecture and become increasingly comfortable working across the Subway Surfers codebase.
• In your first twelve months, you’ll be a trusted and impactful member of the Subway Surfers team, contributing to the development of features and content from planning through release and helping shape technical solutions for the game - and you’ve received plenty of player feedback on things you’ve worked on!
