At Improbable, we’re bringing together technology and games to create new opportunities and experiences. In order to achieve this, we need unique perspectives from diverse people, empowered to revolutionise how online games are made, delivered and paid for.

We believe one of the biggest, most impactful changes to the way we live our lives is going to come from the medium of games. Realising new communities, societies and vocations through virtual worlds is what drives our people and gives them purpose.

Your Mission

As a Software Engineering Intern you will be placed in one of our engineering teams and be mentored by some of our senior engineers. You will be developing large-scale, distributed systems which form parts of our real-time simulation platform.

Interns will be given a challenging project by our Head of Engineering which is best suited to their skills and interests.

Example projects include:

• working with AAA game studios to build new gaming features into our simulation stack

• integrating new engines with our distributed stack -- e.g. physics, navigation, raycasting

• developing new algorithms to distribute and scale our simulations

• developing tooling to understand and reason about large real-time simulations

• low-level performance optimisation & efficiency improvements

• researching new applications of our tech and developing proof of concepts in the government

Interns will also have the opportunity, if desired, to work with our award-winning team on a project that will showcase the disruptive power of our technology and will redefine how simulations are made.
