Your role within our Kingdom.
We are looking for extraordinarily skilled Technology interns from a variety of backgrounds and interests to join our Kingdom this summer!
With titles like Candy Crush, Bubble Witch and Farm Heroes, our code runs on hundreds of millions of devices across the world. As a Technology Intern at King, you can either get involved with the making of the games, where you together with your colleagues take part in the process of specifying, designing, building and implementing existing and new game features. Or join our teams working behind the scenes with our engines, systems and platforms instead. A game that looks good on paper is nice, but a game that plays brilliantly across all digital platforms is better. Help us do just that.
C Developer (Barcelona, Berlin and London)
Our C++ engine developers work on improving and maintaining our cross- platform mobile engine, editor and toolchain. You will contribute to developing and refining new and existing features on behalf of our dozens of live production game teams.

Ideally, you are experienced with C++ and passionate about building technology, games and might even have had experience with game engines yourself.
Backend Developer Intern (Berlin)
Our backends are part of an independent team but develop features in close collaboration with game teams. You’ll be involved in both game team (groomings, plannings, retrospectives) & backend team (design reviews, stand- ups, code reviews) processes. As a backend, you’ll need to design APIs, solve scalability challenges & write clean code. As a Backend Developer intern you bring solid knowledge of data structures and algorithms, you are familiar with Java and understand client- server architecture.
Java Developer Intern (Barcelona)
Our Platform Development teams provide the foundations for building and operating big games. We build highly scalable services which process millions of requests per second and the tools the business uses to manage the games. We are looking for interns to help build valuable tools to support the game development process and deliver high quality and well- structured code. Ideally you will be studying for a degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering or equivalent and have some development with experience using an object oriented language, such as Ruby, Java, C# or C++.
