Game Server Hosting

It's not enough to launch a game server process in the cloud and hope for the best. Many steps are required to go from building a game server to running it at scale. Server executables need to be packaged, global infrastructure needs to be provisioned, server instances need to be scaled to match demand, and metrics, logging, and alerting need to be configured to provide visibility to what is happening in these servers. Game Server Hosting takes care of this, so the game studios can focus on what they're great at: making amazing games!


We are looking for an intern to join us in providing a world class game server hosting platform to our studios. You will design, implement and release a feature that directly impacts the multiplayer games EA makes, while receiving mentorship from our team of fantastic engineers.


Responsibilities:

  • You will lead the design, implementation and release of a new feature for the Game Server Hosting platform. 

  • You will participate in design discussions, code reviews and general team activities

  • You will operate live services and troubleshoot production issues

 

Qualifications, Experience and Expectations:


  • Comfortable in a C-based language (e.g. C, C#, Java)

  • Bonus: experience with Golang, familiarity with Kubernetes, Terraform, GitOps, and Cloud technologies


You must be available for a full-time paid internship in the summer of 2026.

At this time, we are considering Undergrad students who will be enrolled in an accredited degree program in the summer of 2026, slated to graduate no earlier than December 2026. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in Canada on a full-time basis during the 16-week internship. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

Please ensure that your graduation date is visible on your resume.
