Shader Art Intern
Are you ready for an exciting opportunity at Guerrilla? This is your chance to hone your skills, and get hands-on experience at the biggest Game Studio in The Netherlands!
INTERNSHIPS AT GUERRILLA
At Guerrilla we're a passionate team of creators, storytellers, and innovators who thrive on breaking boundaries and creating adventures that captivate players. As an intern at Guerrilla, you will immerse yourself in the world of game development. From collaborating with industry leaders to working on cutting-edge projects, you'll gain hands-on experience in various aspects of game creation.
OUR "TECH ART: SHADERS" TEAM
The Shader team is responsible for shaping the overall visual aesthetic of our projects, including post-processing features, and our material library-plus a whole lot more in terms of shader work! This team collaborates closely with content creators, art directors, and technical teams to ensure a seamless blend of performance and implementation. Though small in size, the team has a significant impact, influencing almost every model asset and every rendered pixel in the game. With a wealth of expertise, the team thrives on sharing knowledge and working together to achieve the best possible results.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
As a Shader Intern, you will support the Shaders team in maintaining and improving the visual and technical quality of our materials. You'll assist in handling shader and feature requests from content teams, ensuring performance remains within budget and that our pipelines ensure consistent texture data for shaders to process.
Working within Guerrilla's in-house Decima Engine, you'll gain hands-on experience with our node-based shader workflows and learn how a large-scale, production-proven engine manages rendering, optimization, and integration. Depending on priorities during your internship, you may also help with documentation, shader examples, or small workflow improvements.
We value a proactive and communicative approach, someone eager to collaborate, learn from experienced developers, and contribute to the look and feel of our worlds.

A: Unless stated otherwise, our vacancies are based on-site, in our studio in Amsterdam. For qualified candidates, we offer visa, permit, relocation and immigration support. Depending on role, we do offer hybrid work models allowing our employees to work from home one or more days per week.
Q: I don't have any work examples. Can I still apply for a job?
A: It's essential that you can prove to us that you have the necessary skills for the job. Rushing into an application without supplying the required materials won't leave a good impression. In general, it's a good idea to put together an excellent portfolio before you start applying for jobs.
Q: I have no experience in the games industry. Can I still get a job with you?
A: Games industry experience is certainly a bonus, but it's not always necessary. It's important to put together an excellent portfolio that demonstrates your skills and your understanding of the game development process.
Q: I applied for a job with you, but I haven't heard back. What happens now?
A: We aim to respond to all applications within three weeks. Due to the volume of requests, this sometimes takes a little longer. If you have not heard from us within three weeks, your application was most likely unsuccessful.
Q: How can I arrange a job interview with you?
A: We receive so many applications that we are only able to arrange interviews with the most suitable candidates. It's important that your application stands out from the crowd. Go ahead, impress us!
Q: I'm considering working at Guerrilla in the future. Is it possible for me to come for a tour of the studio?
A: Because of the confidential nature of the projects that we are working on, we cannot allow visitors into the studio. The most impressive job applicants will be invited for an interview, and will have an opportunity to visit some of the development areas.
Q: I'm a university student looking for a company that can help me with a (master) thesis assignment. Can we arrange a meeting to look at the different possibilities?A:We like to help out with university level assignments when we can!
