Your role in the bigger picture
Create rich, believable characters and write punchy dialogue that is poised to spring life from an actor’s mouth. Your worldbuilding will be grounded in rigorous research tempered by injections of the weird to contribute an internally consistent IP.Liquid Swords are highly collaborative, therefore being supportive of how environmental storytelling is amplified through, for example, street art, city planning and interior design, is highly regarded.You’re highly motivated by the prospect of creating a new IP and possess the ambition and intellectual curiosity to explore complex conflicts with a keenness to interrogate systems of power, politics and tradition. If you’re a writer invested in understanding the crucible of poverty and violence born of desperate circumstances that conversely knows how to find and portray humanity, hope and humor - let’s talk.In summary - you have a masterful narrative hand, are highly communicative, and empower your collaborators to flourish in our collective storytelling venture.

Is this You?
Below are qualities we’d love for you to possess.
We know game narrative folks have storied backgrounds so if you don’t fulfill all the below, please still consider applying. We’re especially interested to hear from writers of diverse backgrounds, and most keen to find a person with fantastic writing chops and a unique voice.
You possess a Curious Mind, drawing on a robust foundation of narrative techniques but also looking to expand on and challenge status quo methodologies.

You are at ease writing Cinematic Scripts in screenplay format. Your scripts show expertise with dramatic mechanics as well as the realities of production.

This section is the “Why should I be interested?” section and serves as a pitch to the would-be candidate. And motivates them to read further.

It’s ambitious, visionary, reaching for the stars, and succinct. It sets an expectation to the candidate so that we can lay out who we want to hire, and the flavor of the department that a person will join.

These are the “what” - the situations day to day and week to week that define the role. They are short, and bullet pointed. By the time a person gets to this point they should be interested in the high-level role, and now want to see that they can “do the thing”

Video games development studio Liquid Swords was founded in 2020 by Christofer Sundberg. The mission is to develop highly action focused video games for an adult core audience, with a strong focus on delivering deep and highly entertaining experiences of the highest quality.
The games are based on original intellectual properties created by Christofer Cundberg and his team, who previously have created the +18m selling franchise ‘Just Cause’ as well as The_Hunter, Mad Max, Generation zero, Rage 2 and Renegade Ops. Other members of the team have been playing key roles in the development of such games as Mirror’s Edge, the Battlefield franchise and the Pay Day franchise.
Our ambitions are high and we intend to quickly carve out our space in the open world genre and create open-world game franchises where depth and quality are keywords. Needless to say, we have the experience but also the team and the right game to be off for a great start.
We are a well-financed start-up and we measure our success with the release of fantastic AAA experiences. We want to work with YOU as an individual and use all your talent and experience to build this game experience.
Why you should be working at Liquid Swords!
A privately held company, financed by founder Christofer Cundberg and a group of private investors who also function as advisors to the company.
A senior startup in the sense that all essentials like insurances, pensions and funding are in place at the same time as you get to be involved in building both a company and a game from the ground up.
Game development to the core. We focus on game development and game development only. Our focus is not numbers or securing investments.
We develop AAA games with a small studio approach. Our ambition is not to grow the company into a +200 employee company, but to maintain relatively small. Everyone is required to take on multiple roles and be entrepreneurs within their field of expertise.
Our core team members have a proven track-record of developing multi-million selling franchises.
Our focus is to develop mature intellectual properties for the adult player.
We take risks where risks are worth taking in order to avoid distractions for the team. Content and quality are kings.
All our games are developed on the Unreal Engine™.

As a Senior UX Designer at Above, you will collaborate with an exciting mix of competencies, from industrial designers, to mechanical and software engineers. We are looking for someone that will drive client communication, and deliver best-in-class solutions in a variety of projects: from digital products to physical experiences.
Ultimately we are looking for someone that is passionate about designing for people with holistic eyes, and that has a deep understanding of digital interfaces and interactions — no matter where they materialise.

We at Above are devoted to creating value in people’s everyday lives. We are experts in breaking down boundaries between the physical and the digital with the fusion of hardware and software through products and services. We work with the full stack: from strategic concepting all the way through to manufacturing.
One of our core philosophies is that we believe in prototyping early and often by bringing designers and engineers together from the very start of a project. If our designers can understand and make technology decisions, while our engineers can grasp and influence the user experience, then we can truly find meaningful collaboration that results in actual relevant products.
We work with amazing international brands, local Scandinavian heroes and a fantastic collection of startups. We also have a passion for creating our own products and have a good track record of successful start-up ventures. We’re a team of warm, welcoming, dedicated professionals that love to build cool stuff. In everything we do, we strive for a world class result and we believe you share that mindset.

Concept development independently and in teams
Illustrate research synthesis and design ideas with storyboards, user flows, customer journey maps.
Develop wireframes and prototypes around customer needs, for a variety of devices and interfaces
User testing and iterating
Mentor junior designers and interns

What we are looking for
Your passion about user-centred design and drive to learn is your most important quality. You are a team player and a problem solver, who can align solutions with client needs — while overseeing the overall process and quality of the work. You are humble enough to take directions, while brave enough to give candid feedback.
5+ years of professional experience working with UX in digital products, preferably at a digital design agency
A deep knowledge in applications like Figma, Sketch, Invision, Principle, FramerX
Broad experience with creating interactive prototypes
Have a passion for designing digital products from a holistic to a detail perspective
Leadership skills to support client & team
