Job description

About the Role

As a Framework Developer at Hacksaw Studios, you’ll work together with our game development teams to deliver the features and tools they rely on. The work includes building new functionality and maintaining, refining, and optimising existing code. You'll think holistically about each feature you implement, how it impacts long‑term developer productivity, usability, and performance across memory, GPU and CPU.

The framework team is also responsible for areas such as CI pipelines, end-to-end tests and build scripts (including asset optimisation and more). Depending on your interests and skillset there is a wide range of technologies you can dive into. We keep meetings to a minimum and there is a lot of freedom and responsibility in prioritising tasks and defining scopes, perfect for someone who communicates well, enjoys finding the right solution and likes having focused time to get things done.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain features, tools, and systems used by our game teams.
• Improve performance, usability, and reliability across our framework.
• Consider long‑term implications of implementations, including developer experience, usability and performance.
• Collaborate with developers and designers to identify and solve technical challenges.
• Participate in reviews and provide feedback on code and implementation.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience with one or more programming languages suited for game development, such as C#, C++, TypeScript or Haxe.
• Experience with different game development frameworks with some understanding of their structure and how to handle rendering. Ideally with games targeting web.
• A proactive mindset with strong communication skills and a sense of ownership.

Nice to Have

• Experience developing modules used by other developers.
• Interest in performance optimisation.
• Familiarity with git, TypeScript, Linux, bash, Bun, Docker, Cucumber, GitLab and AWS. Familiarity with any of those tools are beneficial but not required.
• A personal interest in games and an understanding of the gaming industry.

What We Offer

• A modern office in central Stockholm.
• Work with experienced, passionate colleagues in the gaming industry.
• The opportunity to create games with a global audience.
• Real influence, ownership, and personal growth opportunities.
• Wellbeing perks including wellness allowance and regular in‑office massage.

Practical Details

• Unfortunately, we cannot assist with relocation or visa sponsorship.
