At Massive, you get to do what you love most while bringing your own experience to our ongoing projects, like Tom Clancy’s The Division 2, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws. We're also developing new tech here, such as our in-house engine Snowdrop, and Ubisoft Connect - Ubisoft's digital ecosystem and distribution platform. 

We’re collaborating with Disney and Lucasfilm Games on a new story-driven open-world video game set in the beloved Star Wars galaxy. This is a lore we love and want to do justice with a game and story that bring both new and lifelong fans on an immersive and outstanding journey that will stay with them for years.

We are looking for a knowledgeable Programmer to enable us to create awesome player experiences through AI. To do this, you will work closely with designers, animators, artists, testers, and other gameplay programmers to develop new AI features and systems within Massive’s in-house engine, Snowdrop. You will work on the full lifetime of feature development, from conception through to the game release. You will have a big impact both on what we create and how we create it.

What you’ll bring

 

We hope you share an enthusiasm for game development, that you enjoy working autonomously and know how to structure your tasks.
