Rotational Software Engineer - Graduate Program

Start Date: 5th August 2021

To Apply: You must graduate between Dec 2020 and July 2021

Making a game requires passion, innovation, and creativity. At NaturalMotion, we make games that wow people. We take pride in making products that reach a large audience and in creating communities that last. In 2018, 2019 & 2020 NaturalMotion Studios were named one of the Best Places to Work in the UK games industry by gamesindustry.biz.

We want to take extraordinary new graduates and help them become excellent Software Engineers, who will be responsible for creating the games of tomorrow. You will be placed on a Rotational Software Engineering program, completing two rotations at our London studio.

About Our Program

You will be paired with senior Software Engineering mentors during your time in the Rotational Software Engineer (RSE) program. We will provide full access to training/workshops by our engineering leaders.

You will work alongside our smartest and most creative minds to bring engaging game experiences to life. Whether it’s working on server-side microservices at scale or building amazing in-game features, you’ll learn the fundamentals of game development, be part of a professional team shipping software and level up your craft with engineering patterns, testing strategies and architectural decision-making.

You will deliver work as part of a development team, collaborating with other engineers and other disciplines daily (design, product, art, audio and plenty more). We expect you to play the game regularly, and your voice is important in providing feedback for future development.
