We are EA

We entertain millions of people across the globe with the most amazing and immersive interactive software in the industry. That is why we employ the most creative, passionate people in the industry. EA's UK game studio Criterion is opening several yearlong internships, spanning all game development crafts.

We are growing our team with experienced people who will help us take a huge leap forwards, and you, the next generation of game makers, are central to this ambition. As we explore new possibilities within gaming, challenge our own beliefs and step outside of our comfort zone, we need fresh perspective that challenges convention and inspires us to grow.

We are looking for an accomplished and motivated Software Engineer Intern who will help us on this journey, while learning about the field of games art hands-on.

Responsibilities
• Our software engineers work with other disciplines such as all manner of designers, artists, and producers. Unlike many other game studios, our office is not separated by craft. We believe that we work best when we arrange our desks into our feature teams. Therefore, we are looking for an intern who would revel in working in this way.
• Creating a game requires many areas of engineering all coming together harmoniously. This means that as a software engineer there is a lot to choose from: Physics, Gameplay, Engine, AI, UI, Core, Build, QE, Web Technology, Tools and many more. Currently, we are looking for an intern in any one of these areas depending on what is best for you.

Skills and Qualifications
• Have some experience in programming – any language and any technology
• A passion to make incredible games with fresh player experiences
• You value working in a team and are not afraid to ask questions
• You know that we can never stop learning and so have a hunger to learn as much as possible whenever you can
• You play games and often try to understand how they are made or have ideas on how to improve them
• If you have created a game, a website, an app or tool? Show us, we would love to hear about it

Please note: If you have a passion to work for Electronic Arts please apply, even if this specification does not describe you. Unfortunately, job specifications are a little more box like than we would like. We do not like putting people into boxes. We would love to hear about who you are because, even if it is not engineering, we may can find something here that is right for you and therefore right for us too.
