Our game developer placements involve working on real game code: you’ll be porting top PC and console releases to Mac, Linux or mobile platforms. You’ll also help to develop our in-house tools and support the overall development process.
You’ll be working on the same projects as our graduate developers, and will work directly with them and our experienced programmers, gaining valuable experience in games development. This includes getting familiar with the development cycle, bug tracking and working with a QA team.
