Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Arrowhead Game Studios Full time

If you're looking to shape the future of the best co-op games in the world, you've come to the right place. We're proud to have some of the most talented and passionate makers and leaders in the industry working with us. Our ideal candidate has both a hands-on understanding of game development and the ability to inspire and guide teams towards success. What's more, we are a fun and driven bunch of game developers who love to indulge in our passion for video games together. Our games are not for everyone. Are they for you?

We are now looking for a Chief Technology Officer (CTO)

As our new CTO, you'll be the architect of Arrowhead's technical future, leading the way as we push the boundaries of co-op gaming. We need someone who is as comfortable diving into technical problem solving as they are leading strategic discussions. You've stayed hands-on throughout your career, combining technical expertise with leadership skills to guide teams to success. Think of yourself as the coder-leader who can write the spell, when needed, and rally the fellowship to make it happen. You've helped ship games in recent years.

Your roots are in programming, and while your career has evolved to include leadership responsibilities, you've kept a developer's mindset. You're hands-on, curious, and always ready to take on complex challenges. You're passionate about building great games and equally invested in building the teams and processes that make those games possible. Your role is to help shape Arrowhead's long-term technical strategy while rolling up your sleeves to tackle challenges that require deep technical expertise.

Responsibilities

  • Define and execute Arrowhead's technical vision. Craft and lead a technology roadmap that supports current projects and lays the foundation for the future of co-op gaming.
  • Lead by example. Dive into development when needed, using your technical expertise to inspire and guide teams.
  • Nurture a strong engineering culture. Foster an environment of collaboration, creativity, and high performance where technical teams can level up and thrive.
  • Build and lead technical teams. Recruit, develop, and retain top-tier talent while managing and mentoring engineering leaders.
  • Drive innovation. Identify and implement new technologies and tools that enable efficient and scalable game development.
  • Collaborate across disciplines. Work closely with creative and production teams to align technical solutions with studio goals.
  • Ensure technical excellence. Oversee the stability, performance, and scalability of our games, tools, and infrastructure.

    What we are looking for
  • A developer at heart. You have 10+ years of development experience, with a solid track record of combining technical expertise with leadership, always staying close to the code and guiding the teams to deliver results. You're fluent in programming languages like C++, C#, Lua, and more.
  • Proven leadership. You've led teams, created results through others, and navigated the challenges of scaling teams and technology.
  • Track record of success. You've shipped games from start to finish and have experience working with diverse stakeholders to deliver high-quality results.
  • Vision and pragmatism. You balance big-picture strategy with a practical approach to solving problems.
  • Experience with modern tech stacks. You're comfortable leading engine transitions, adopting new technologies, and tackling the technical challenges of cross-platform development. Including Unreal Engine.
  • Passionate about games. You're an avid gamer who understands the creative and technical nuances of game development.

    Bonus points if you have:
  • Business experience, either in a startup environment or with broader business responsibilities.
  • Public speaking experience at conferences, panels, or similar events.
    Deep familiarity platform-specific development for PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo.
