We’re looking for a Junior Game Developer who is ready to bring creativity, passion, and technical skills to our team. This role is perfect for graduates or aspiring developers who have a solid foundation in C# and a love for mobile games, especially Free-to-Play (F2P) titles.

If you’ve dabbled in game creation during your studies or in your free time, particularly with Unity and uGUI, and developed a small game, we’d love to see your work. Your enthusiasm and willingness to learn are just as important as your technical skills.

• Experiment with tools like LeanTween, DoTween, or UniRx, bringing your ideas to life.
• Take part in brainstorming sessions and offer creative solutions to challenges.
• Work closely with artists, designers, and producers to bring game concepts to fruition.

What You Bring

• Passion for Mobile Games: You love F2P games and understand what makes them fun and engaging.
• Strong C# and Unity Skills: Whether learned through studies, personal projects, or online courses, you’re confident in coding and eager to grow.
• Hands-On Experience: Ideally, you’ve created small games or experimented with tools like Unity, uGUI, or others.
• Team Spirit: You enjoy collaborating and are open to feedback.
• Language Skills: Strong English skills are a must (German is a bonus).
• Availability: You’re happy to work three days per week on-site with our team in Karlsruhe/Ettlingen.

What We Offer

• Guidance and Growth: Learn from experienced professionals who are excited to help you kickstart your career.
• Exciting Projects: Get involved in developing engaging mobile games that reach players worldwide.
• Creative Collaboration: Join a friendly and open-minded team where your ideas matter.
• Hybrid Workplace: Work both from home (2 days/week) and in our modern office in Karlsruhe.
