Our Stockholm hub first opened its doors as NetEnt in 1996 with Gothenburg following in 2012. Both hubs are now working under the global Evolution brand to create our cutting edge NetEnt games and can now boast 120 engineers and support staff working together. Our office in Stockholm recently moved to brand new offices so that Evolution’s NetEnt and No Limit City teams could work in the same building.

“A genuine passion for our craft”
Every day at Evolution presents a new challenge and opportunity which makes for a really dynamic environment. The culture really encourages professional growth and fosters lots of collaboration between our different teams.
The Tech stack we work on is one of the most advanced I’ve had the privilege of working with. It’s streamlined, offering tools and platforms that enhance productivity whilst maintaining a high degree of flexibility. This means I can work both efficiently whilst pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.
The tools provided to us as sound designers are pivotal in ensuring a “Flawless player experience” by integrating immersive audio into our games. This means our end product meets our exceptionally high quality standards.

“Ideas are genuinely welcome from all teams”
Evolution is a big company with very collaborative teams where everyone is willing to step in and help if needed. With the diverse group of people and many different cultures, it keeps things really interesting working here.
The joy of being a DB Admin at Evolution is that many of the challenges we face are completely new, which means that we’re always finding new solutions and sharing/documenting issues for future use. It truly is a role where no two days are the same. This makes for a highly creative working environment where ideas are genuinely welcome from everyone.
Our teams work across Europe with different time zones meaning that we need to be very collaborative. I genuinely feel lucky with my team mates. They are fun and honest to work with, and all carry a professionalism through all of the work that they do together.

“We bring games to life and make ideas pop”
I’ve worked for Evolution for almost ten years and what’s always impressed me is the people that I work alongside. They have a real passion for what they do and it makes the environment we work in come alive.
My role sees my team take our games from an initial idea and mathematical design to something that people want to play. You could say we bring the entertainment! To do this we obviously work in a highly collaborative environment where ideas and concepts are freely shared, discussed and sometimes even discarded before we create something that flies. It’s so very satisfying to see everyone in my team shine and have their input recognized.

“I’m always up for a challenge”
I joined Evolution with experience in Java and was given the opportunity to work on Scala for the first time. It’s been a great experience and something I’ve really risen to the challenge of. I’ve been here just over a year and am already working on my fourth game, something that’s only been possible because of the excellent support from the team. There’s lots of learning materials available and the team is very knowledgeable. I was even able to attend one of our Scala bootcamps earlier this year.
Scala has really improved my functional programming experience and practices. It’s a high quality, very concise and clean code which I believe helps us to build a much better end product. I love the creativity of this role, experimenting, trying new ways of doing things and learning. All with the expectation that the end result has to be of the highest quality creating good, solid, concise code.
