Animator/3D Artist
Contract Type: Permanent
Sector: Art and Design
Location: Shanghai, China
Job description: Supercell’s structure is based on the idea of having small, independent teams. Small teams allow us to build, break and shift quickly, but they also require that everyone on the team fills multiple roles.
Working as an artist at Supercell is not an exception to this, and therefore the Clash Mini team is now looking for a game artist who will specialise in visual effects but is able to contribute in other areas of game development as well.
We are not looking for just any artist, but we’re looking for a game artist who loves, plays, lives, and breathes games. You will be surrounded by people who will help you become a better game developer each day, inspiring you and pushing you to break the mould of mobile games as we currently know them. Of course, you will be a similar source of inspiration to everyone around you, too.

Server Engineer
Contract Type: Permanent
Sector: Engineering
Location: Helsinki, Finland
Job description: We’re looking for an experienced server engineer to join our in-house development team for Supercell ID.
The Supercell ID team is an independent product team developing a social platform for players to connect to games and to other players. More than that, the service is also the best way for our players to keep their accounts safe. Supercell ID is live in all Supercell games, and we are actively adding new layers to offer account holders even more benefits.
For anyone with a background in a large tech company with huge engineering teams, we want to emphasise that this position doesn’t come with ready-made building blocks that are just waiting to be put into place.
On the other hand, you get to handle a much larger spectrum of technical details. It’s a job that suits someone with a strong preference for being hands-on and with a solid understanding of how to do things well and wisely, from the ground up.

You’ll be surrounded by game programmers, artists, community managers, brand marketers, and others who do too. Together, you’ll work to build worlds, characters and games to be loved and enjoyed by millions and millions of players for years to come!

Game Artist
Contract Type: Permanent
Sector: Art and Design
Location: Shanghai, China
Job description: We are looking for a passionate and experienced game artist to join our Shanghai studio which is our first international development studio outside Helsinki.
If you are someone who has a tremendous amount of innovative game concept ideas that you would like to work with a world-class team to develop, in a culture that emphasises independence and learning, in the world’s largest gaming market, then this is a perfect role for you.
You take pride in your work and know what it means to take responsibility and deliver quality-focused games. We work in a dynamic and agile environment – meaning we don’t have long development cycles but instead we release new features, events and improvements to the game multiple times a year. We don’t have strict processes that we need to follow but instead, we create the process and deadlines independently as a team.
Your main focus will be on developing new beloved characters for the game. You will need to be a generalist in the sense that you should be able to independently design, execute and make your assets work.
