Internship - Programmer C++ (onsite/ remote)

Who We Are:

Abstraction Games is an Independent Game Studio where we do our own games, as well as co-development work and adaptations of other games. We started 13 years ago as 2 people in a garden shed, and now have over 50 people in a newly renovated office just outside of Eindhoven, in the Netherlands.

We encourage an open and collaborative atmosphere. We surround ourselves with incredibly talented people who naturally promote a culture of discovery and innovation.

We are currently working on a new IP that we’re not quite ready to talk about here, but we are really excited about it! Additionally, we also do co-development work. As a small company, you’ll have a chance to work on many different projects.

Some of our previous successes are Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, ARK: Survival Evolved, The King of Fighters XIV, Hotline Miami 1&2, Don’t Starve, The Sexy Brutale, Broforce, and many more!

Where We Are:

Eindhoven is the tech center of The Netherlands and a thriving international city. It is very modern, progressive, and diverse. Small enough to explore on a bicycle, and large enough to house the technology university, a top-tier football team, and the longest bar and restaurant street in the country.

Who You Are:

• A final year student from a game development University (of applied sciences)
• Have a passion for multi-platform game development
• Have low-level programming experience (C++)
• Your passion for game development goes beyond your education. You are working on your own projects in your spare time
• Strong contributor in team projects
• Analytical, thorough, problem solver
• Be proficient in English
• Be responsible and willing to learn

Bonus, if you have experience with:

• Unreal Engine 4
• Low level or graphics programming
• Console development

What you’ll do:

We have an open position for a programmer intern. As a programmer intern, you will work on an active game project. The tasks will depend on the particular project and what experience you will bring. You might be working on a game adaptation, work on tech or be part of a co-development project.

Work location and time zone:

• Remote or onsite
• Your working hours will be within the European time zone (CET)

Team culture:

Embrace our core values:

• Go beyond boundaries
  • Use the First Principles Approach.
  • Take nothing at face value.
  • Define your own path around obstacles.
  • Embrace ideas that almost anyone would consider outrageous.
• Excel
  • Perform exceptionally well.
  • Strive for symmetry (or intentional dissymmetry), beauty and polish.
  • Craft meticulously. Don’t stop when “it’s good enough…”.
  • Move mountains.
• Be nice
  • Apply the Most Respectful Interpretation approach with one another.
  • Maintain a safe environment for us, our partners and consumers.
  • Be transparent and do not keep up appearances.
  • Be candid and call out someone’s mistake but be nice about it. If you haven’t learned how to do this yet, learn it now.
  • Be respectful of other people’s time. Be punctual, prepared, and brief.
• Grow
  • Seek hard problems to solve.
  • Be better than yesterday.
  • Step out of your comfort zone often, take risks, make mistakes and learn from them.
  • Fail fast to succeed sooner.
  • Challenge each other to keep growing.
  • Blame none other but yourself, embrace failure and move on.
