University FAQ
What kind of internships and new grad opportunities do you offer?
We offer positions for full-time (New Grad) candidates as well as Internship/Co-op candidates for product management and software engineering roles. Other positions may be available based on game studio openings.
What are the qualifications to be considered for an internship or co-op?
For our internships and co-ops, you must currently be enrolled and within two years of graduating with a bachelors, masters, or PhD. If you are a graduating senior or recent alum you are not eligible for an internship unless you return to an academic program immediately following the conclusion of the internship. Otherwise, you qualify as a full-time (New Grad) candidate and must apply for one of our New Grad opportunities.
How many interns will you be hiring or do you typically have in your program?
We have no set minimum or maximum we’re looking to take for our next internship class. We’ll find a home for everyone who meets (or exceeds) our expectations!
What kind of opportunities do you offer recent graduates?
We offer full-time positions in product management and software engineering for New Grads.

Yes, all of our positions are paid. We do not participate in work-for-credit programs.

We offer our interns real-world experiences and challenging work responsibilities.
