• You are currently a student in Denmark and studying for your bachelors or master's degree with at least 18 months left before you graduate.
• You have completed 1-2 years of university-level education in a game related field.
• You can communicate clearly in English both in written and oral form.

Who We Are

We are a team of more than 100 creative professionals. We experiment and collaborate with a focus on creating new experiences, and as such we are looking for people who can help us achieve them.

Our approach to development does not include crunching towards arbitrary deadlines - instead, we particularly look for talented people who enjoy managing their own schedule and thrive on working within a friendly, collaborative environment.

We love to make carefully crafted games with obsessive attention to detail and are always on the lookout for others who share that passion.
