## About Supercell

Supercell is a games company from Helsinki, Finland, with [offices](https://supr.cl/jd-offices) also in San Francisco, Seoul, Shanghai, and London. You might know us as the makers of Hay Day, Clash of Clans, Boom Beach, Clash Royale, and Brawl Stars. Our mission is to create [great games](https://supr.cl/jd-games) that as many people as possible play for years and that are remembered forever. So, how do we make great games? By putting together the best teams and giving them the freedom and independence to succeed. And by taking risks, [failing, sharing learnings](https://supercell.com/en/news/learning-from-failures/), and killing lots of projects.

Hey, You Might Love It Here! Independent cells and trust are at the core of [our culture](https://supr.cl/jd-why-you). But it takes more than that to make great games. We take good care of our people, providing them with the compensation, work environment, and resources they need to succeed while having fun along the way.

You Are Not Your Job Title ™ Here, you won’t need to focus on [chasing titles](https://supr.cl/jd-job-title) or climbing ladders. Internally, our job titles don’t include prefixes like Senior, Junior, Principal, or Director. Recognition isn’t tied to your title, as it doesn't define the impact you can have around here.

## Benefits and Compensation

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure [our compensation and benefits](https://supr.cl/jd-benefits) with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.

Relocation? Yes! No matter where you’re moving from, our dedicated mobility team and partners will support you throughout your move. We’ll ensure the process is as smooth as possible for you and anyone joining you – whether they’re family members of the human or animal kind!

Not Sure if You Should Apply? Many candidates with great skills and experience second-guess themselves. The bar is high, but if this role excites you, apply! We’re here to help you succeed. Also, we're happy to learn about any specific accommodations you may need to fully engage in our recruitment process. Wishing you all the best, The Supercell Recruitment team
