Deadline to apply is November 1st, 2026!
As an intern at Gamebreaking Studios, you’ll get the opportunity to grow your game development skills in a passionate and highly collaborative environment. We’re looking for someone passionate about games to use their skills to make an impact on our Internal Games Team, which is currently working on Dungeon Rampage! This listing covers all non-engineering development disciplines. If you consider yourself to be an engineer, either backend or gameplay focused, please apply through the other engineering specific listing on our careers page!
In this internship, you’ll be primarily working on our Dungeon Rampage game or other potential internal game projects. Dungeon Rampage is a revival of a popular hack and slash flash game, engineered for Steam with some new improvements. On the Dungeon Rampage team you could be helping create new features, polish the play experience, fix important bugs, or creating other kinds of new content. Your contributions will directly contribute to the happiness of our players! Our Internal Games Team is focused on working on games that we as Gamebreaking own and are in charge of creating either independently or in partnership with a publisher.
At Gamebreaking, helping the growth of our interns is a top priority. We have a strong history of our interns being successful in the games industry both inside and outside of Gamebreaking. You will be paired with a highly experienced mentor to help guide your development throughout the program, as well as managerial resources to get you all the support you may need. We want to bring people onto our team who are hungry to grow and excited to make a big impact.
We encourage you to apply even if you do not meet all of the skills listed here. We understand that your qualifications may shine through in different ways and can be based on unique perspectives and experiences.
