HAY DAY TEAM IS STACKED WITH GREAT PROGRAMMERS WHO WANT TO HIRE MORE GREAT PROGRAMMERS TO CALL THEM "MY NEW FAVORITE TEAM MEMBER" AND CALL UPON YOU TO JOIN THE QUEST OF ADDING A LITTLE BIT OF FUN TO THE DAILY LIVES OF OUR HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF PLAYERS.

(Read more about the team, flannel, the big mistake and nothing bad in this article https://supr.cl/nothing-bad-happens-in-hay-day-jd we made.)

At Supercell, client programmers are at the heart of the team, working together with designers, artists, and other programmers to craft fresh, new experiences for our players. Coding features is of course your bread and butter,but you'll put on your designer hat and make a ton of calls on what goes into, and what doesn’t go into, the game. You're someone who likes to decide what to do with the people you work with rather than being told what to do from above and create tremendous impact on a small team.

Our game programmers are mostly generalists, so you can work on lots of different areas of the game. It’s important that you take pride in your work and know what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality and fun to players. You are comfortable taking a feature from a vague idea on a post-it to a fully working and polished implementation.

We offer you a chance to join a team of professionals where talent feeds talent. We do not believe in bureaucracy or convoluted processes. Game development is a team sport, so we work together to achieve the best results. We trust each other’s skills and value each other’s work. All of us are driven by the amazing opportunity to make a game played by millions of players better and better. If this sounds exciting to you, then you might just be the person we are looking for!

ABOUT SUPERCELL

Supercell is a games company from Helsinki, Finland, with offices https://supr.cl/jd-offices also in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You might know us as the makers of Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars. Our mission is to create great games https://supr.cl/jd-games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever.

So, how do we make great games? By putting together the best teams and giving them the freedom and independence to succeed. And by taking risks, failing, sharing learnings https://supercell.com/en/news/learning-from-failures/, and killing lots of projects.

HEY, YOU MIGHT LOVE IT HERE!

Independent cells and trust are at the core of our culture https://supr.cl/jd-why-you. But it takes more than that to make great games. We take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed while having fun along the way.

YOU ARE NOT YOUR JOB TITLE ™

Here, you won’t need to focus on chasing titles https://supr.cl/jd-job-title or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define the impact you can have around here.

BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits https://supr.cl/jd-benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
