Online Tech Programmer Intern
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 ONLINE SERVICE TEAM
Our Online Services team builds reliable, maintainable, and high-performance online systems with a focus on low-latency delivery. We work with various other disciplines to create tools needed to build online game features. We deliver the networking and replication layers for both game client and server, integration with online platform services (e.g., PSN), authentication, matchmaking, inventory, store, server allocations, and more. The team works in close collaboration with our Online Infrastructure team, which designs and maintains the build and deployment environments for our services, servers, and tools.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
Our services use industry-standard web technologies built on modern frameworks: Java 21 and Spring Boot 3.5.x (with migration to Java 25 and Spring Boot 4 coming soon), Kotlin, Hibernate, and OpenAPI. We leverage Redis for caching and pub/sub, Amazon SQS for queuing, and PostgreSQL for persistence. The services are designed around domain-driven architecture with a hybrid approach between microservices and domain services, and we share as little state as possible between services.
We host our services on Kubernetes backed by Amazon EKS and use other AWS services like S3, DynamoDB, and RDS. Our deployment pipeline uses GitHub Actions and ArgoCD for continuous delivery. Some of our DevOps tooling is built with Golang.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
As an Online Tech Programmer Intern, you will receive dedicated mentorship and you will work on meaningful projects that directly impact our live games while developing your skills in high-performance online systems.

Frequently asked questions
Q: Does Guerrilla offer remote positions?
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!
