Requirements

  2. Strong expertise in character design, including acting, posing, expression sheets, and color exploration.
  3. Proficiency in creating stylized/cartoon character designs, with a deep understanding of design language and appeal in a stylized context.
  4. Ability to generate unique and engaging ideas that align with the core game concept while respecting established lore and creative direction.
  5. Collaborative mindset, with the ability to give and receive constructive feedback, fostering a positive and creative work environment.
  6. Strong communication and documentation skills to ensure clarity and alignment across teams and external collaborators.
Nice to Have
  1. Knowledge of 3D workflows to facilitate the transition from 2D concepts to 3D models.
  2. Experience in the animation industry or animation skills to enhance character appeal and storytelling.
Benefits and Compensation

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems is not what we seek to do. We develop Supercell as an employer for you to do your best work and to call this the best experience in your professional life. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits to serve this purpose. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

About Supercell

We are a game company based in Helsinki, Finland, with offices in San Francisco, Seoul, and Shanghai. Since our launch in 2010, we've released six games globally – Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, and Squad Busters. To make six games, we've killed dozens along the way. That's because we're obsessed with quality. Our mission is to create great games that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. To achieve this goal, we put together the best possible teams and give them the freedom and independence to succeed.

You Might Love It Here...

If you love games, Supercell is the place for you. We're made up of proactive, independent teams that have the freedom to do what they think is best for their players, our games, and the company. We know it takes more than trust and independence to make great games, so we also take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed and have fun while at it.

You Are Not Your Job Title

Working with us means you won't need to focus on chasing titles or climbing ladders. We've decided that our internal job titles don't include prefixes like senior, junior, principal, or director. Instead, we embrace our non-hierarchical culture, allowing us to concentrate on what truly matters: doing what's best for our players. Recognition isn't tied to your job title, nor does your title define the impact you can have.

This position is in Helsinki, but you're not?

Luckily, moving to Helsinki is easier than you might think. No matter where you would be moving from, our dedicated people will help you from beginning to end. We're here to ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you, your family, and whoever and whatever you bring along.

Not sure if you should apply?

Do it You might feel like you don't tick all the listed requirements with stellar scores. That's fine We're here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you might require to fully engage in our recruitment process.

Interested?

Then just apply here. We're looking forward to hearing from you. It's always exciting to receive thoughtful applications with more than just a blurry image of a cat. Although we do love cats.
