A few years ago, Supercell started two new game development teams in North America. These teams represent a unique & incredible opportunity for the team members: the full creative freedom & independence of creating a new game, without the distractions and uncertainties of establishing and running a new company. A big motivation for pursuing this effort is to create new kinds of games that players haven’t yet seen from Supercell. We want to create unique new gameplay experiences across multiple platforms, not just mobile. In other words: let’s build something new!
One of these teams is looking for an experienced technical designer to take our game’s core gameplay and technical systems to the next level. We are still prototyping and as a core team member, you’re energized by the ambition, creativity, and responsibility it represents. This is a highly collaborative role that would have influence on the game concept, core systems and mechanics design as well. We aren’t looking for a purely paper designer; this role requires hands-on implementation and iteration. This is an opportunity for growth, ownership and doing your best work yet.

WHILE THE SALARY RANGE BASED ON YOUR BACKGROUND, SKILLS, AND EXPERIENCE FOR THIS POSITION IS $188,000 – $281,000/YR. YOUR FINANCIAL COMPENSATION MODEL ALSO CONSISTS OF AN ANNUAL BONUS, RSU EQUITY, AND 401K.

However, luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life.
We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.
