Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Paradox Interactive Full time 60,000 - 120,000 per year

Are you ready to explore the universe? Fly among the stars and expand the horizon? Do you want to be part of a vision that inspires, not only us, but also our players? If you are ready for a journey among the stars, with a crew that offers freedom, trust and ownership, we'd love for you to come on board and help us design the future. 

Your Mission

As a Game Designer on Stellaris, your mission is to imagine, shape, and implement the mechanics that underpin our galaxy. Alongside the rest of the design team, you'll build the frameworks that let players experiment, strategize, and tell their own stories at scale.

As a team, we ideate and prototype, break down problems, and iterate relentlessly. Using our in-house scripting language, we translate design intent into functional, emergent gameplay. We collaborate openly, question assumptions, and take pride in building robust, expressive mechanics.

We aim to be the best in the business, and we set our sights on the stars.

The skills we're searching for…

Fluent in English with an excellent command of written American English.

Experience in game design.

Experience with or interest in code-based scripting.

Ability to work independently and in collaboration with other developers on assigned tasks and take responsibility for delivering work according to the project's schedule

A strong passion for and interest in Stellaris and/or knowledge and experience of other Paradox Development Studio Grand Strategy Games

We are seeking new team members who enjoy working in a team where everyone supports one another, but every individual designer is also given the freedom and responsibility to take charge of a task and deliver results. We care about quality and are motivated by the idea that our many fans around the world will praise our work after its release.

Our Game Designers thrive in a modern, creative environment, where our colleagues enjoy their jobs as well as the games we make. The ideal candidate will not be afraid to raise issues, continuously strive for improvement, and seek to inspire their teammates.

We were never meant to journey alone, and we can't wait to hear how you can contribute to our crew.

At Paradox, you will be part of a result-driven, high-trust and player-centric culture. Our games and players take center stage, and our first priority is always to add player value. If you are someone who thrives from the opportunities that this culture brings and knows how to navigate the challenges that also come with it we highly encourage you to apply for this job and join our team.
