Job Description

A passion for fantasy worlds has long been ingrained in our studio, and at last we can announce we have embarked on a journey into that beloved realm. With a party of veteran IOI guild members and new wizards and sorceresses of the industry, we are building an ambitious new IP for console and PC that will revolutionize the fantasy RPG genre. If you share a similar passion for creating welcoming, heartfelt, bold and impactful worlds, join us and together we will write the next chapter in IOI's history.


We are seeking a UI Programmer to join the Project Fantasy team. You will help shape how players interact with our world, our systems, and the magic that binds it all together. Your work will directly impact the feel, clarity, and usability of our fantasy experience.

What you will do:

Develop high quality game UI, menus, HUD systems, and the underlying logic that drives them. Build, maintain, and integrate core UI tech within the Glacier engine. Create and refine UI systems and tools, including the runtime architecture, performance optimizations, and intuitive tooling for UI designers. Collaborate with designers, artists, and fellow programmers to ensure UI solutions are scalable, polished, and aligned with the needs of the project.

Who you are:

A strong C++ programmer with solid code architecture and design skills. Experienced in building UI systems, HUDs, and menu flows on at least one shipped game title. Someone with a genuine interest in UI, UX, and the craft of making complex systems feel effortless for players. Comfortable working with multi threading and synchronization primitives. A team collaborator who can communicate clearly, challenge ideas constructively, and also work independently when the direction is set.

Who we are:

IO Interactive is an independent videogame development and publishing company with studios in Copenhagen, Malmo, Barcelona, Istanbul and Brighton. As the creative force behind some of the most talked-about multiplatform video games in the last decade, we are committed to creating unforgettable characters and experiences - all powered by our award-winning, proprietary Glacier technology.


IOI is a studio that values in-person collaboration. Being together helps us focus our collective energy on our immediate goals. For us, being both in-office as well as connected across our studios helps us integrate our teams faster, strengthen relationships, and improve knowledge-sharing. We believe that the more time we spend together, the more quality and progress we achieve for our games and players.


We know that to achieve those goals, we need courage, talented people and a great working environment - and we do our utmost to have all of that. Across our multiple studios, we're working on several projects. Crucially though, we're all one team. We value the work and impact that each person brings to the table and we actively encourage new ideas, whilst listening to your insights along the way.


We have a dedicated team of People Managers, who look after you as an individual and as an employee. With more than 40 nationalities, we know that everyone is different and we are proud to have a reputation for being a friendly workplace with highly-talent people.
