We Exist to Inspire the World to Play

Glu Mobile is now part of the Electronic Arts family. The combination of our accomplished teams at Glu and EA position us as a leader in the largest gaming category in the world. We are forming a powerful growth engine that will expand our current games and provide more amazing new experiences across sports, lifestyle, mid-core, and casual for players everywhere. We also have a robust co-op program to support you during your work term.

You will work on the genre defining mobile game Design Home. Members of the team are based in San Francisco and Toronto. We understand that it takes passionate people to make great games and maintain a culture of collaboration. Working on Design Home will provide you with the challenges and the support to grow as a game developer.

You will succeed in this role if you are someone that is motivated to learn but also to execute and innovate. We will adapt the role somewhat based on the strengths of the student.

Responsibilities

• You will code and directly collaborate with engineers, artists, and designers on game client systems and features.
• Learn and follow our team's best coding practices and procedures.
• You will participate in sprint planning, task estimation, and code reviews.
