Senior Developer

Providing Value & Impact - SwedQ. SwedQ is a consultancy company that has lately proven to have a unique model for those who want to grow, create a legacy, and take on challenges that both add and gain value. Year after year, we have managed to serve clients within a wide range of industries (intentionally excluding gambling and weaponry). During this time, we have also grown steadily—in revenue, in team size, and in the impact of our deliveries. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of the company in a literal sense. That means taking on the technical challenges as well as getting a portion of the company in the future. If you would like, you can also drive your own ideas forward and implement them with us. You’ll be working closely with everyone here, which makes it easy to bring change and act on what you believe in. What's in it for you? Some people value fixed salaries, pensions, and stability. Others want a bigger share of the pie and are ready to share the risks. Let’s talk that through. One thing is certain—we’ll make sure you find your “it,” whether that’s with us in-house or with our clients. We’ll shape the role to fit both your needs and ours. The good thing? You will be surrounded by people who are technically savvy, giving you plenty of opportunities to teach and learn. And if not technically, then perhaps in entrepreneurship.

VISION AND MISSION What if you could combine AAA game technology, cloud infrastructure, and AI-powered digital clones to ship a revolutionary experience continuously? At Avanti, we are not just building games; we are solving the complex technical challenge of emulating human behavior in a controlled yet natural digital environment. We replace traditional live studios with a scalable, cloud-powered engine. Instead of physical dealers, we build predictive and proactive digital humans. We are shifting from reactive AI to a proprietary model, allowing our clones to interact with their environment in a lifelike, autonomous way. We have a great technology at our hands, and now looking for a Gameplay Developer who appreciate R&D driven environment where we research how emotions can be programmed. THE OPPORTUNITY As a Senior Gameplay Developer at Avanti, you are here to architect the systems that make digital clones feel alive. You will join a technically driven team where the challenge lies in scaling advanced tech to meet global demand. This is a role characterized by heavy R&D, where you will constantly re-engineer and improve our core systems. You will have the opportunity to work with cutting-edge non-LLM AI logic, focusing on predictive behavior and complex NPC systems. Your work will directly influence how emotion is programmed and replicated on a digital face, and how our clones perceive and act within their own environments. This is a chance to work at the absolute frontier of Unreal Engine 5, where reusability and systemic scalability are the foundation of everything we ship. Your focus will include: * Design and implement gameplay systems for live casino games using Unreal Engine * Integrate WebRTC streaming technology with gameplay mechanics * Work with Metahuman characters and live capture data integration * Develop player interaction systems that work seamlessly with live dealer streams * Create robust, scalable multiplayer game logic and networking solutions * Optimize performance for web-based streaming environments with real-time Metahuman rendering * Collaborate with animators and artists to integrate motion capture data into Metahuman characters You will collaborate closely with animators and technical artists to ensure characters, props and animation behave seamlessly inside the engine. We iterate continuously. Systems evolve. Improvements are pushed frequently. THE TECH STACK You will work with: * Unreal Engine 5 * C++ * Blueprint * state machines * motion capture integration * Perforce and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) in a real-time multiplayer environment. AAA background is not required. Experience building and shipping stable systems is.

You understand gameplay systems, animation logic and performance constraints. You likely: * Enjoy solving technical complexity * Take ownership of your work * Communicate clearly across disciplines * Improve systems rather than waiting for perfect conditions We value accountability, curiosity and clarity. WHY AVANTI? We operate at the intersection of game technology and regulated iGaming. Few companies globally are combining Unreal Engine, motion capture, AI-generated characters and cloud streaming at this scale. We are a stable company and are currently scaling our company with plans to expand the coming years! Our platform is powered by Google Cloud and built for continuous deployment. We deliver scalable digital experiences to operators such as LeoVegas and Svenska Spel. You get: * Stock option program in the future * Wellness allowance & gym membership * Hybrid setup * An English-speaking, technically driven team Startup energy. Backed by capital. Real customers. THE PROCESS * Initial conversation * Technical deep dive * Final discussion with the Hiring Manager We're taking a summer holiday, and will get to this mid August!
