Thunderful Development is a studio that is part of Thunderful games, formed by several indie companies coming together to make something more significant than they could have done independently. Today, we're roughly 120 people in team sizes of 15-35 people making amazing games in four locations: Gothenburg, Skövde, Malmö & Karlshamn. The teams within have developed the award-winning SteamWorld series, known for its frequent genre-hopping and inclusive design, as well as more recent AA games like Steamworld Build, The Gunk, Lost in Random, and other unannounced but equally charming titles.

The office is located at the wonderful DevHub, an environment filled with game companies & indie developers situated in a bustling part of Malmö inner city. We take mental and physical health seriously; whether that is making space for workouts or feasting on weekly donuts

We are eager to have someone join our Malmö team as soon as possible and continue with us until the end of the year. Therefore, we continuously review applications.
