We’re Red Thread Games, the studio behind Dreamfall Chapters and Draugen. You’re a versatile programmer with Unity development experience who loves making games. Hello!
We’re looking for a new programmer to join our team and help create our new game: a narrative-driven, third person action-adventure for PC and consoles.
The job requires prior experience with Unity, with playable examples of games you’ve worked on. Professional game industry background or commercially shipped games are not required: hobby and student projects are perfectly acceptable for submission!
Job description
If hired, you’ll join our studio to work on an unannounced 3D adventure that blends narrative with action in an original and exciting setting. “Project Dustborn” is in development for PC and consoles, and it’s made with the Unity engine.
You’ll collaborate with a friendly team of designers, programmers and artists to create features, systems and game mechanics. Your work will span the entire game, including combat and world interaction systems, tools and graphics.
Your role touches on many different areas of development, and requires at least a basic understanding of game development and design processes, user interfaces and experiences, game systems and mechanics.
This is a full-time position, onsite in Oslo, Norway, starting in August 2020. We’re open to discussing remote solutions, if absolutely necessary.
Given the current global health crisis, the development team is working remotely. Candidates for this position must be prepared to work from home for a period, and until further notice, before potential relocation is possible and advisable.

- You’ll collaborate with the design team, artists, animators and other programmers to help them implement their ideas and designs
- You’ll participate in the ongoing development of tools and technologies to improve workflows, and partake in regular design meetings and brainstorming sessions
- And you’ll need to work independently to ensure your tasks are delivered on time and to a high quality
Qualifications
- BS/MS in Computer Science or related fields, or equivalent experience
- Experience working with Unity
- Proficient in C#
- Comfortable working within an established code base and conforming to existing code standards and best practices
- Ability to design and implement game systems, mechanics and features within an established framework
- Ability to work closely with designers and artists to implement their ideas
- Take technical ownership of major game subsystems
- Working knowledge of 3D math / trigonometry
- Strong communication skills and solid grasp of the English language — written and spoken. Norwegian language skills are not required for this position
Bonus points!
- A passion for interactive storytelling, RPGs, adventure games and action-adventure games. If you’ve played our previous games, that’s a bonus!
- Experience working with Unreal Engine 4, the Blueprint scripting language, and C++
- Experience working with consoles (Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Switch)
- Experience in AI systems
- Experience in shader programming
- Experience completing a project from start to finish
- Multidisciplinary, agile, curious and eager to learn
