Experienced Programmer - Mobile
Are you a programmer with experience from mobile games? Have you worked with Unreal Engine (4 and 5) and want to help bring the chaos of Goat Simulator to players?
We’re looking for someone who enjoys tackling technical challenges, optimizing performance, and making sure our games run smoothly on mobile devices – all while keeping the chaos intact.
About us
COFFEE STAIN NORTH is a small game developer based in Stockholm that belongs to the Coffee Stain Group. Since the company was founded in 2013, we have grown to 34 employees and are now open to adding a couple of new friends!
Goat Simulator 3 is a third-person sandbox adventure developed by Coffee Stain North in which the player can live out their wildest dreams... as a goat. Released in 2022, this open-world sandbox game takes the chaotic spirit of the original to new heights and offers expanded multiplayer support, a larger and more detailed environment, and even more absurd physics-driven gameplay. Players can explore the island of San Angora solo or with friends, wreaking havoc as a goat (or one of many unlockable characters) through a wide range of quests, mini-games, and bizarre encounters.
Understanding games like Goat Simulator 3 means appreciating the fine line between "broken" and "brilliant." If that sounds like your kind of energy, come and get to know our herd!
