Bucharest, Bucharest, Romania

Funcom was founded 30 years ago, in 1993.  

We were there in the early days of the massively multiplayer online games, breaking new ground and pioneering features and business models that are commonplace today.

We’ve made over 25 games, from pixel platformers to more recent titles such as The Longest Journey, Conan Exiles, and Secret World Legends.

With Dune: Awakening, we are weaving together Open World Survival and MMO elements into a Dune tapestry that brings Frank Herbert's
- fi masterpiece to life in a completely unique way.

Today, over 400 people from more than 30 different nationalities work and play at Funcom across our 5 studios in Oslo, Norway; Lisbon, Portugal; Durham, North Carolina; Stockholm, Sweden; and Bucharest, Romania.

We like to think of ourselves as more than just developers. We're a friendly group of around 500 people with plenty of casual and hardcore gamers, tech heads and creative masterminds, organized planners, and nerdy game fans who make this industry so fun. And we’re all together on a mission to open windows to amazing worlds. We've been making games for over 30 years, crafting and publishing unique experiences that have put us on the path to becoming a leader in Online Worlds.

We've got five studios spread across Norway, the USA, Portugal, Sweden, and Romania, and we're always on the lookout for more dedicated people to join our ranks.

We're all about creating a relaxed and equal workspace where flat communication and our agile structure are key to delivering
- class games.

So, if you're ready to make your mark, we're ready to welcome you!
