Our Interns are given challenging projects over the work term, and are provided with a meaningful experience with high expectations for performance. If you want to build something Epic, this is the opportunity for you!

This team is responsible for introducing new ways to play the game through the Fortnite Creative mode. The Creative mode allows users to play the game the way they want to play it, through new maps, devices and game modes.

• Build UI systems for multiple platform types (e.g., console, PC, mobile)
• Solve user facing problems with high visibility.
• Influence the future of how games are made in Fortnite Creative.

Qualifications:

• Currently pursuing bachelors or masters degree in CS or related fields

• Online portfolio showcasing UI, HUD using C++ game or application is a must
• Significant programming experience C++ through school work or outside activities
• Solid understanding of Data Structures
• Building user interfaces for games
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills
• Top candidate will have experience working with Unreal Engine 4
• Preference plusses given to UMG, scaleform or similar UI frameworks

This is a paid internship, running Spring / Summer 2020. All candidates must be eligible to work 40 hours per week on site in Cary. Intern recruitment for summer 2020 roles will run through February 2020, or until teams find an ideal match.

This is going to be Epic!
