WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING
At the moment the project is in the prototyping phase with a team of around 25 developers where most have 10+ years of experience and have shipped multiple AAA games on several platforms. The team will stay this size for the next year which means that you will be involved in all aspects of the game and code related questions and topics but be the expert when it comes to Animation programming.
The game is a AAA, single player, third person, open-world action-RPG set in a modern era and made in Unreal5. At Liquid Swords, we don’t believe in buzzwords. We approach game development in a quite simplistic way as game development is complicated as it is so no need to complicate the process further. This allows us to focus on quality and allowing our team members to be the experts they are and to fully unleash that expertise in their respective field. You will both help to find and evaluate what tech and tools will be best for the game, produce code within many different areas and help form the code department.
After this phase we will continue to keep the project small throughout the development and aim to be about 80-100 people where everyone will sit on the same office floor to continue our collaborative and uncomplicated way of developing the game. The code team will consist of about 20 developers with minimal hierarchies and great opportunities for everyone to make an impact on both the game and the company. At the end of the prototype and while going into the next phase you will get the opportunity to focus on only Animation or if you found a new area of interest, go into that.
This is a full-time position based out of Liquid Swords legendary HQ in Nacka, Sweden (10 minutes from the city of Stockholm) with the possibility to work from home on occasion.
