Mobile Game Engineer Intern

About the role

Zynga, a global interactive entertainment company and label of Take-Two Interactive, is looking for a Mobile Engineer Intern to join its Game Development team in Barcelona. You will work with senior developers on internal game development tools and libraries and help improve the efficiency of the game production pipeline. The work is hands-on engineering with real ownership.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and improve internal libraries together with other teams.
• Implement scoped tasks end to end, from understanding the problem to delivering a reviewed, tested solution.
• Write short technical design documents before implementing.
• Profile, debug and optimize on real iOS and Android devices.
• Work on third-party integrations and platform-specific functionality.
• Improve technical documentation and training resources.
• Collaborate with colleagues from different teams and keep them informed of progress and blockers.
• Take part in code reviews, giving and receiving direct feedback.

Required profile

• Strong C# and programming fundamentals: data structures, algorithms and object-oriented design.
• Effective debugging: finding root causes rather than patching symptoms.
• Disciplined coding habits and awareness of industry best practices.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills and the ability to collaborate with senior developers.

Required skills

• Proficiency in Unity3D, demonstrated by at least one complete project (published or in a readable repository).
• Working knowledge of computer math (vectors, matrices, quaternions) and 2D/3D graphics.
• Bonus: having built and run your own app or game on iOS and/or Android.
• Bonus: experience with performance analysis tools (Unity Profiler, Xcode Instruments, Android Studio Profiler), third-party SDK integration, and Swift/Objective-C or Kotlin/Java.

What we offer

• Hybrid model: at least two days per week in the Barcelona office.
• 25 days of annual leave plus public holidays.
• Free language lessons in English, Spanish and Catalan.
• Social events and parties.
• Gym facilities, free breakfast, lunch and coffee, and onsite physiotherapist and hairdresser.
