Requisition ID:R003114

The Company

Big company challenges, small company culture

Demonware hosts millions of concurrently connected users. Technologies we use but not limited to are Python, Linux, MySQL, C++, and Erlang. We solve tough problems on a day to day basis, and interns have a big impact on what we do. We've had interns commit code and have it running in production within the first three days of joining.

We also like to have fun while we're working hard. We dress casually, we have flexible hours, and we have kickass coffee.

''We get to work with large distributed systems, debug them, and have to visualize them in our heads – things you wouldn't have exposure to or get to touch in any other workplace. The work is challenging, and you get to work alongside highly experienced people.''
- Tyler Dixon, intern, 16 months

The Role
• Helping game studios integrate multiplayer features into the next 'Call of Duty'
• Developing plugins and extending our automation framework
• Developing core features for our allocation and provisioning systems
