Renowned for triple-A blockbuster hits like Just Cause, Mad Max and the upcoming Rage 2, Avalanche Studios has in the last decade expanded its business to develop and release its own IPs. With theHunter Classic, theHunter: Call of the Wild and Generation Zero, Avalanche Studios is firmly established as one of the leading Games As A Service developers. The world-leading open world engine Apex 2.0 underpins these titles, made for PC and consoles and developed in Stockholm, New York and Malmö.
The Position
Avalanche Studios is looking for a Global Head of IT to align a highly skilled IT team in Stockholm, Malmö, and New York. As the role is entirely new, you will build the long-term IT strategy and vision for the company while being able to dive into the complex challenges that the studio faces daily.
Using your experience, you will identify the future needs of domain-specific IT experts and grow and develop the team. You will work together with internal and external stakeholders to secure that various project goals are met (budgets, hardware/software requirements, external access requirement, etc). You will balance long-term IT investments on both the client and (cloud)server side to optimize cost vs. efficiency ratio for the business. This includes negotiating with vendors.
As the Global Head of IT, you will delegate our global IT functions while being responsible for the overall quality of service. Additionally, you will work closely with our creative division management for headcount and resource planning and implement IT projects together with technical leads.
In this role, you are also responsible for the operation of central development systems (performance, jenkins, etc), and analyzing and improving central services. You will also have overall responsibility for global security, backup, and VPN access. Equally important is that you overlook the architecture in our game development infrastructure (build system) as well as our hosting backend services in the cloud.
You will report to the CTO.

We hope you'll come to think of this place as your home turf and creative foundation.
