WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Design, architect, and implement game features (in Unity with C#)
- Work hands-on across all technical aspects of client development: gameplay, client-side systems, and UI implementation
- Write high-quality, high-performance code that runs smoothly across a wide range of mobile devices (Android & iOS)
- Collaborate with game designers and artists to bring new in-game features to life
- Directly influence and shape features that ship to millions of players

WHO YOU’LL WORK WITH:
- You will join a cross-functional team of Product Managers, Business Analysts, Artists, Game Designers, UX designers, Backend Engineers, QA Engineers, and others. At Nordeus, we champion team autonomy, meaning you’ll have a real seat at the table when deciding how features are built and delivered.
WE ARE A MATCH, IF YOU:
- Have 3+ years of professional software engineering experience - with significant time in mobile or client-side development - backed by a degree in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical knowledge
- Have experience with one or more programming languages, including, but not limited to: C#, Java, C/C++, Python, JavaScript
- Have owned architectural decisions and lived with their consequences in a production codebase
- Have a genuine interest in games and how they're made
BONUS POINTS:
- Have built a few games in Unity, not necessarily released to production
- Have worked on a live mobile game, ideally with at least one shipped title
- Are comfortable using AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or GitHub Copilot
WHY YOU’LL LOVE WORKING HERE:
- The team behind the game: transparency and trust from day one, paired with a strong sense of teamwork- that's the essence of who we are. It's not just what you do - it’s how you do it and who you do it with. With 280+ teammates from around the world, we’re on a mission to bring the joy of winning to millions.
- We make your life at Nordeus hassle-free: enjoy Nordeus provided breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages, a fully-equipped gym, organized sports activities (yoga, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, basketball, football), an ergonomic workstation, top-notch tech equipment (including laptop, mobile phone and bill coverage, and other tech), a kids’ playroom, a music corner, board and video games + latest consoles.
- Perks? We’ve got plenty: premium private medical insurance for you and your family, flexible working hours, take-what-you-need vacation policy, offsites abroad for the whole company, fully-paid maternity and paternity leave, employee stock purchase plan, access to L&D platforms and opportunities and many more.
- Make your mark on games played by millions: with over 300M registered users, Top Eleven is the world’s most successful football management game. Golf Rival, with more than 60M registered users, is the #2 mobile golf game, aiming to claim the top spot. With one more game in the works, we are continuing our efforts to create powerful mobile sports gaming experiences built to last.
- Meaningful career experience: work with experienced game makers and mentors who will support you from day one, helping you map a career path that's true to you.
- Impact beyond the screen: It is not just about us. We are part of something bigger than a job. We create a better future for generations to come through the efforts of the Nordeus Foundation.
Company at a glance
Let’s travel back to 2010 for a minute. Nordeus started with three friends, who came back from Copenhagen to make their childhood dreams come true in Serbia. They combined their love for football and gaming, and Nordeus was born. But let’s fast forward to today, with more than 280 individually amazing people working at Nordeus, powering mobile sports games enjoyed by players in every country on Earth.
Football management is all about love and passion for football. Our game Top Eleven, launched in 2010, lets you create and manage your club to compete against opponents worldwide. With over 300 million registered users today, it's the most successful mobile football management game.
Thanks to the proven decade-long success with Top Eleven, we took Golf Rival under our wing as part of Take-Two Interactive Software and Zynga companies.
When we are not scoring goals on the football pitch or delivering the next big 3D update in Top Eleven, we are creating a better future for generations to come.
Nordeus Foundation, launched in 2021, is focused on helping children acquire skills and knowledge needed to win in the digital economy by supporting education in Serbia and developing a stimulating and creative environment.
