About Us

Epic Games spans across 25 countries with 46 studios and over 4,500 employees globally. For over 25 years, we've been making award-winning games and engine technology that empowers others to make visually stunning games and 3D content.

We strive to build teams of world-class talent and deeply value diverse teams and an inclusive work culture. We are proud to be an Equal Opportunity employer.

Job Description

In this role, you will collaborate directly with the Unreal Engine and Fortnite animation teams to support features experienced by millions of players and creators. You'll learn extensive debugging techniques to help animators diagnose issues and work closely with the Engine team to support animation needs across Epic Games.

You'll develop robust APIs and intuitive tools for Unreal Engine users, optimize game performance, and develop solutions to various technical challenges under deadlines.

Requirements

To succeed in this role, you should have a degree in Computer Science or related field, strong C++ knowledge, and experience with 3D animation either technically through animation blueprints and low-level animation systems or directly by creating your own rigs and animations in 3D packages.

Strong math skills, especially vector math, trigonometry, and use of quaternions for orientation are essential. Some level of exposure/understanding with multiple core system tasks such as graphics, tools, audio/video, networking, memory handling, script compilers, I/O, etc. is also required.

UE5 gameplay experience is preferred: basics of networking, character movement, and blueprints.

What We Offer

This internship has a flexible start date in 2025 and applicants must be legally authorized to work in the posting location for the duration of the internship. The estimated annual salary for this position is around $80,000 based on industry standards and the location.
