At Supercell, client engineers are gameplay masters. Beyond building tech, they wear designer hats and make a ton of calls on what goes into, and what doesn’t go into, games.

We are looking for an experienced Senior Client Engineer who is self-motivated, goal-orientated and a strong team player. You take pride in your work, and know what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality focused products. You enjoy working in a dynamic and agile environment. You have the knowledge and ability to visualize how things should work, and how to translate this into a functioning solution.
