Who are we
Sharkmob was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Malmö, Sweden. The studio develops AAA-quality games for PC and console, using the Unreal Engine to power its ambitions of taking multiplayer games to new heights.
We are currently working on Exoborne – a Sharkmob original game created in Malmö. Exoborne is a tactical, open-world extraction shooter set in a United States torn apart by apocalyptic forces of nature.
At Sharkmob, we are committed to building an inclusive team that represents diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and skillsets – because we believe that helps us create great games. We welcome all candidates who are aligned with our core values of shared ownership, creating great games, and, last but not least – having fun! We hope you want to join us on our adventure and become a part of our crew. You can find more great perks of being a crew member.
