  • Experiment with existing and upcoming UEFN features to create prototype games or features.
  • Support non-programmer colleagues in developing Verse features and gameplay.

What We’re Looking For

  • Interest in gameplay programming.
  • Solid interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to communicate competently in English.
  • Ability to react and respond effectively to feedback.
  • A flexible approach to development and a willingness to apply out-of-the-box thinking to rapidly evolving software.
  • Bonus: Experience with a major programming language such as C++, C#, Haskell, Javascript, Rust, or Verse is desirable but not required.

Internship Details

  • This internship offers a flexible start date in 2025.
  • Recruitment will be ongoing until teams find an ideal match.
  • Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the posting location for the duration of the internship.
