**The Studio**:
Paradox Tinto is one of the latest additions to the Paradox Interactive Studio family. Founded in 2020, this Studio was established by a small and dedicated team of industry veterans led by Johan Andersson. Building on our experience from Paradox Interactive and Paradox Development Studio, we are creating awesome content for the Europa Universalis franchise, the grand strategy game that started it all twenty years ago!
**The Team**:
At Paradox Tinto we work in a small, gameplay-focused team, where everyone is part of crafting the player experience and has an input on the design of the game. We believe that game development should be fun and strive for a relaxed, stress-free atmosphere. Being a small studio built from the ground up, we expect everyone to contribute to the development of the studio and its culture.
We are also proud of having accessible experienced managers that lead you and care about you. Your contributions are important to us, the whole studio and the games we make.
You will be close to the final product, our community and our fans - we will encourage you to interact with our community and players directly through social media, our forum, and via streams.
Work/Life balance is important to us also, so our development plans do not rely on crunch (this does not mean we never work overtime but overtime is relatively uncommon and not encouraged).
**The Location**:
Our office is located 300m from one of the beaches of a very picturesque mediterranean coastal city called Sitges. It is well connected by public transportation but also walking distance from restaurants, bars, pharmacies, supermarkets, stores, hotels, etc.
Sitges is barely 20 min away by car/bus from El Prat, Barcelona’s International Airport, and not only offers 17 different beaches around its own coastline (“Costa del Garraf”), but also offers an average of 300 days of sun a year! This warm and sunny weather is perfect to enjoy outdoor sports and leisure activities with your family and friends around the area; while mountain lovers still have the option to enjoy a wide range of all-year round mountain activities in the Pyrenees, only 2h drive away.
In addition, this historical and diverse town will captivate you with its cultural events, Mediterranean food and its excellent Spanish wine of course!
