Game designer – Mobile

Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.

Minecraft is the game that started our journey, but our universe is always growing. We love to experiment with new game genres and experiences, inviting our community to explore the Minecraft franchise in fresh and original ways. We’re always looking for passionate people with various skills to join us in expanding the Minecraft universe. Mojang is assembling a team of visionaries to develop new mobile games and experiences. As a Game Designer, you will lead the design decisions and the process of making a fun and great-looking game with the player’s journey and perspective in focus, ensuring we can deliver outstanding games to our enthusiastic player community. You will have a major impact on the player experience, the quality, and the feeling of the product. You will work in an environment that encourages you to embrace creativity and contribute to the team with your design skills and personal perspectives.

Mojang Studios

Mojang Studios is a Microsoft-owned game developer. The company was founded in Stockholm, Sweden and has offices around the world, including Stockholm, Redmond, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai. We’re always working on new and exciting ways to expand the Minecraft universe.

Our community is global and incredibly diverse. We keep this in mind when developing anything, as we want people to feel included in Minecraft. And in recruiting, our goal is to make Mojang Studios as diverse as our community.

We got started as a tiny indie developer, and part of our culture still reflects that heritage. But we’re also proud to belong to Xbox Game Studios, which creates unique opportunities to grow and develop.

To help us achieve amazing things, we have built an equally amazing studio space. Situated right on the water by Söder Mälarstrand, it’s filled to the brim with all the tools, toys and caffeine required to create world-class entertainment.

But in the end, it’s the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you’ll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals – all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
