Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Tactile Games Full time 100,000 - 150,000 per year

It's an exciting time to join Tactile. We're a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts and casual mobile game creators. Our story began in 2008 in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, and since then we have experienced continuous growth, establishing ourselves as one of the largest gaming companies in Denmark. In more recent years, we have been scaling fast, in big part thanks to the success of a little game called Lily's Garden. Now we're on a mission to solidify our position as one of the leaders in creating out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games.

With more than 350 talented individuals, we are a mix of over 55 nationalities and 43% women. We truly appreciate the richness of different experiences and perspectives that Tactilers bring to the game. This is why we foster a lean organisational culture, in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility, be open and grow in their own way. We pride ourselves in cultivating a studio environment that stays away from crunch, that fosters your skills no matter what your discipline is, and one that gives you a place to be creative alongside other passionate and invested storytellers.

Practices & principles we cannot live without:
  • Clean coding practices
  • Code reviews
  • OOP
  • SOLID & DRY principles
