King operates mobile games at a substantial scale. With titles like Candy Crush, Bubble Witch and Farm Heroes our code runs on hundreds of millions of devices across the globe.

We are looking for a dedicated C++ Developer with passion for development and with certain experience in commercial C++ products to help our team build shared modules that will be used in all our games.

Your role within the Kingdom

If you want to create amazing user experiences and entertainment for millions of players to enjoy on the go then this is the right job for you. You will be part of a highly competent team of developers in the creation of large scale systems for Player Support, Globalization, Game Studios and King in general, not only delivering high quality and well- structured code but doing so with a user’s point of view.

We are experimental, trying out new tech and ideas and willing to take risks to drive the entire industry forward. We are sociable and fun, and we like to hang out together. We are passionate, some might even say quirky, and while we love what we do, our lives are about more than work.

Our vision is to work as a B2B organization, making sure that the platform we provide is compatible with all the different games at King.

Your responsibilities will include:

Developing the SDK supporting the games developed at King
Designing and implementing client side aspects of the features and modules we support

Working closely with King’s internal Java server frameworks
Deliver high quality and well- structured code
