Software Development Intern
JOB DESCRIPTION
:

THE COMPANY

Demonware provides online software and services for gaming. We design,
develop, and host services for some of the world?s biggest video
game franchises, including Call of Duty and Crash Bandicoot.

We are a technology-driven company with a commitment to openness. This
means collaborating to solve problems, the freedom to talk to anyone,
and the best idea wins. We take the work seriously; ourselves, not so
much.

Demonware has offices in Dublin, Ireland; Vancouver, Canada; and
Shanghai, China, and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Activision
Blizzard, Inc.

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.?
