Job description

About Star Stable Entertainment

Once upon a time in 2011, the founders of Star Stable Entertainment had a vision. They wanted to create a game that could make a difference. Although half of gamers are girls and women, they were under-represented in the gaming industry, both as characters and creators. We dreamed of an epic online world where tween and teen girls could share an amazing experience. And we wanted to challenge how things were done in a male-dominated industry. Fast forward to today, and our dream has come true tenfold - Star Stable Online stands as one of the most popular MMORPGs globally! At our HQ on Södermalm, our 140 employees are thrilled to continue to welcome players to the island of Jorvik, with its breathtaking scenery, beautiful horses, and magical quests. It’s wonderful to see that our dream resonates with so many players around the world, and we can’t wait to share more stories and experiences with them!

The position

As a Senior Mobile Engineer, you work where the game meets the player's pocket.

Star Stable's iOS and Android launchers are essential for new players getting started as well as coming back to play the game. As a mobile engineer for our mobile launchers you'll be building a modern, future-proof mobile platform: clean architecture, solid testing and reliable releases. You'll also write feature code that turns the combined work of different crafts into smooth, polished player experiences.

• Develop, maintain, and test player-facing features in our iOS and Android launchers, and keep the two platforms consistent.
• Help drive projects for a wide range of launcher features, such as signup, authentication, compliance, and purchases.
• Own how the launchers integrate with the game, working with Engine programmers on launching the game, the app lifecycle, and crash and log reporting.
• Take part in knowledge sharing and support the growth and development of your colleagues, so that no platform depends on a single person.
• Ensure smooth development through efficient communication with other technical disciplines such as Engine, Backend, Web and Tools.
• Work closely with QA to squash bugs and ensure smooth releases and hotfixes on the App Store and Google Play.
• Facilitate communication between the technical disciplines, content developers and producers.

We Think You

• Have around 5 years of experience developing native mobile apps, with apps you've shipped to production on both iOS and Android.
• Have a very solid understanding of Swift and Kotlin and their ecosystems (SwiftUI/UIKit, Jetpack Compose) and tools common in mobile development.
• Care about the player experience and can see the app and the game through the player's eyes.
• Are a strong communicator who can break down complex topics for technical and non-technical colleagues alike.
• Are a born organizer who keeps a holistic view of your project and is comfortable driving cooperation with other disciplines.
• Enjoy supporting colleagues both inside and outside the programming discipline.
• Have experience with in-app purchases and the App Store and Google Play release processes.
• Are used to working with version control systems (we use Git and Perforce on the engine side).
• Are familiar with REST APIs, local persistence and caching.
• Have experience with testing frameworks and CI pipelines.

Nice To Have

• Have experience integrating native C/C++ code into mobile apps (JNI, Swift/C++ interop), or working with proprietary game engines.
• Experience with firebase A/B testing and Remote Config

Perks for joining us?

• A pretty sweet mission. We are developing the world's best horse-riding game for girls and we take that vision very seriously. We strive to hit that mark every single day.
• 30 vacation days (+ 3 additional squeeze days).
• A pension and insurance plan that mimics ITP1 and a parental pay top-up @90%.
• Health allowance at 5000 SEK per year.
• Hybrid working model - combine WFH and being together with the team at our new office located right amidst Södermalm GameDev cluster (Magnus Ladulåsgatan 65)
• Fitness discount of 18% at SATS gym + company workout classes.
• A dog friendly office! Bring your furry friend to work!
