Jagex is looking for an ambitious individual to join our friendly and dynamic Game Engineering Teams on a Summer internship.

You will be working with different games teams across the studio, gaining valuable exposure to a variety of different technologies and ways of working. We will help you understand what the different disciplines on a development team are, what they do, and how they interact and collaborate with each other. You will have the chance to learn some of the most commonly used professional development tools and experience how development teams prioritise and schedule their work. There will be opportunity to contribute to various projects, helping you find your area of interest with mentorship from experienced Game Engineers.

This is an exciting opportunity for a student with ambition and initiative to join a fast-paced online games studio and help us to achieve our ambitious goals for 2021.

What we’re looking for:

- Current University student or an aspiring Game Engineer who chose a different path.

- Cover letter. Let us know why you are interested in spending time with us here at Jagex and how you feel you will grow and develop as a result.

- Some experience using C++.

- Exposure to Unreal Engine would be desirable but is not essential.

- Prior knowledge of RuneScape would be desirable but is not essential.

- We are player and people obsessed, and strive to ensure an inclusive culture where our people and players can feel safe to be their authentic selves.

The paid internship will run for a maximum of 3 months over the Summer 2021. The exact start date and duration of the internship can be flexible around the individual’s University term dates.

Closing date for applications is Sunday 21st March

Q: Am I eligible to apply?

A: Eligibility depends on the following things:

- You must be aged over 18

A: You are expected to work a 39.5 hour week throughout your internship.

Q: Is this a paid position?

A: Of course! You will be valued as an employee whilst here at Jagex and that means getting paid at the end of every month.

A: There is no guarantee of a permanent role at the end of your internship, but this is certainly an excellent opportunity to gain experience and make professional connections in this exciting, creative and global industry.
