About the Role
Tarsier Studios is looking for an IT Operations Specialist to join our team in Malmö. In this role, you will take ownership of our local IT environment, ensuring that everything from developer tooling to office IT runs smoothly and efficiently.
You will work closely with developers, external partners, and our parent company (THQ), supporting a hybrid setup where some infrastructure is managed externally while you own the on-site experience. This is a hands-on, broad role where no two days are the same, combining user support, infrastructure, and continuous improvement.
Your focus will be on creating a stable, fast, and user-friendly IT environment that enables our teams to do their best work.
What You’ll Do
Provide hands-on support and troubleshooting for employee PCs, equipment, and office IT
Set up, maintain, and monitor core systems supporting development and daily operations
Ensure performance and stability of critical systems such as Perforce and build infrastructure
Manage and support the office IT environment, including meeting rooms and shared spaces
Set up and configure hardware and software for new and existing employees
Handle onboarding and offboarding, including account provisioning and access management
Maintain and support server infrastructure (Windows Server, virtualization environments)
Work with license management and vendor relationships that are not handled centrally
Collaborate with external partners and group IT (THQ) on infrastructure and shared services
Drive improvements, automation, and standardization to reduce reactive work
Monitor systems, troubleshoot issues, and ensure a secure and reliable IT environment
What We Offer
At Tarsier it's important that our office is welcoming and fun so that our employees enjoy being here, because we believe that working closely with your team is the best way to make great games. That is why our Office Management and People & Culture-department work closely together to make our office a really great place to both work and hang out in. We have a large focus on ergonomic, personal work stations, we eat breakfast together on Wednesdays, and we play games together in the game room. Sometimes we grab an after work beer together in the kitchen, or throw a Christmas party for the ages.

Pension & insurances
30 days of vacation
Overtime pay
Flexible working hours
Wellness contribution to use for gym memberships, swimming, crossfit, bouldering, dance classes, massage and much more
Healthier half hour - 30 minutes of your work day to spend on exercise

Currently employing around 50 people, Tarsier Studios is a game development studio based in the vibrant city of Malmö, Sweden. We are the developers of award winning games Statik, Little Nightmares, and Little Nightmares 2 - as well as our latest release REANIMAL. At Tarsier, it’s the games that drive us. Quality above all else. Interesting ideas executed to perfection. We want people to be proud of the work they do here, and to finish each project feeling as though they’ve pushed their abilities to the next level. That, of course, requires hard work and talent in equal measure, and we look for both of those things when recruiting new team members.
We welcome applicants of all backgrounds and genders, and look forward to hearing from you!
