About Tarsier
At Tarsier Studios we take pride in working with our own IPs and knowing that all creative decisions lie in our own hands. We also know that it comes with great responsibility. We push ourselves to be at the forefront of creating games that stand out.


We are currently looking for creative individuals who do not adhere to the norm and push the envelope when it comes to their own creative thought. Taking risks while owning their responsibility is something as a studio we love to see and encourage.


We are a mid-size studio (70 staff members) and are looking to grow our team. We are in the process of creating two new games and are looking to diversify and add like-minded team members. You think you got what it takes?

At this moment in time, we are not ready to say what the games are or what genre they will be in. HOWEVER what we can tell you is that standards are incredibly high and promise that you will be making world class games.


We want to believe in the worlds we create. Our games should feel authentic, fearless, imaginative, and memorable; forging a connection between the player and the game that leaves a lasting impression ... or a permanent scar. We do that by marrying artistically mesmerizing worlds, stories and characters that you relate to with mechanics that amplifies the intended emotion and stories we want to tell. Worlds that you’ve never experienced before yet care about and get affected by.

We are seeking a Lead Game Designer who thinks Tarsier games “make the world a better place” and more importantly are looking to personally gain experience and knowledge along the way. The desire to learn and be challenged is highly appreciated. You are curious about your colleagues and want to coach them to do their best. You want to take an active part in improving cross-disciplinary teams, work together with directors and leads to formulate and carry through the game vision and the desired player experience.
Ideally you have experience from games and features conception to the final shipment of several games. We also expect you to be a kind human.


What you can expect from Tarsier?
Besides a paycheck every month, we provide a creative environment for our employees as well as a complete employment package taking care of everything from pension plan, health benefits to parental leave.
We are located in the vibrant Swedish city Malmö and highly encourage non- Swedish individuals to apply. Our studio is international (we even allow dogs) and our studio language is English.

The animators we want are all about the gameplay. Understanding how the controls work and finding the best way to visualize them from all angles, in all situations is key. We like details and subtlety, which means we rely heavily on and give plenty of freedom to the animators to come up with both creative and technical solutions, all the while keeping in mind the final game that the player will experience. The ideal candidate doesn’t just make beautiful animations, but understands when they need to be quick and snappy and when to allow for longer animation sequences. We want all our artists, and that includes the animators, to WOW! us.

In practice, the animators work closely with the designers and programmers, communicate regularly and collaborate directly to hookup the tech with the animations and achieve perfection in both aesthetics and performance. So the role is largely a creative one, but with a tech element to it. Familiarity with Unreal Engine 4 is a huge plus!

Own, curate and implement animation blueprints in close collaboration with engineers
Create animations that portray character personalities consistent with the style and vision as laid out by the Creative Director and/or Art Director

Continuously push the quality of the animations
Help locate and solve animation processes and implementation issues

Mastery of Maya; we expect to see a strong portfolio with focus on gameplay animations
Experience with Unreal Engine 4 and setting up animation blueprints
Keen eye for creating gameplay animations for combat, core player abilities and interaction systems
Driven to solve technical challenges with designers and programmers
3+ years experience in the games industry
Willingness to accept and provide direction and work well under pressure
Flexibility to cope with frequent iterations
Fluent in English, both verbal and written

Tarsier is on the verge of great things. We'd love to say we're there already, but that would just be lying to sound cool in a job ad. So we're close, but we need more top people to help us get there, and that's what we're looking for right now! We're just about to head out on our next set of adventures, making world-class games with top publishers; all the while pushing the bar of what comes next with our in-house concept team. Tarsier is all about great ideas executed to perfection, and if you want to be part of it, why not see if you fit the bill.

As Tech Director, you are responsible for the code of the Tarsier games. As a veteran engineer, you know what works and what doesn’t, and how to get the most out of your team of programmers while maintaining a cordial and professional relationship with art, design, sound and production. Your years of experience have enriched you with a fountain of knowledge that you can call upon to solve a wide array of challenges, ranging from code solutions to people management.

Together with your team, and with input from the other disciplines, you determine which technical solutions will allow Tarsier to achieve the best results, both in terms of time and quality. At the same time, you intuitively think ahead and prepare the studio for the future, researching new developments and proactively preparing for our next games.

With the producers, you help plan our roadmaps and make resource estimates. With your leads and seniors, you run a team of professional, quality-first coders and ensure they can work seamlessly together like a well-oiled machine.

Responsibilities include:
Manage the various Tarsier programming teams to meet goals and milestones
Establish and propagate a high bar for coding standards and best practices
Investigate and research emerging technologies in the industry that can be leveraged to propel Tarsier to the forefront of game development
Lead the education and mentoring of both new and old members of the Tarsier programming team
Ensure, encourage and participate in the recruitment of the next generation of Tarsier programmers
Assist the team at all levels to make sure that information is both sent and received for all relevant parties
Arbitrate key decisions that involve programming issues
Work with production to plan effectively and accurately for future projects

Qualifications:
A strong leader and mentor with experience running a team of 15+ programmers
Excellent diplomatic and communication skills
Experience going through a full dev cycle, from concept to release, on Console
Currently in a Lead or Director role on a game development team.
Good knowledge of C++
Fluent in English, both verbal and written
Willing to relocate to Malmö, Sweden (or commute within the area)

Pluses:
Training in people management
Experience with AI, memory management, CPU & GPU optimization.
Developed Atmospheric or Action Adventure games
Experience with additional middleware systems
Knowledge of UE4

What we offer:
At Tarsier Studios, we believe in quality above all else. But quality is the residue of care, and most of all, care for people. So our great perks, like 6 weeks vacation, flexible working hours, company-paid supplemental pension and sick leave insurance, additional health allowance and a relocation package, are not there just to make people happy, but to ensure we reach the highest quality bar possible. Making great games means demanding a lot from people, but that doesn't mean we can’t take good care of them while we do so. That is the Tarsier way and what we offer to all our colleagues.
