Our teams build meaningful relationships with hundreds of millions of players around the world who love our games. We aim to be the best at meeting players where they are and supporting them throughout their journey with EA.

We understand the dynamic global landscape so we can bring relevant content, promotions, and help to players anywhere.

WE MAKE FUN...FUNNER.

We are Full Circle, and we're all about having fun and making great games that people want to play with their friends. As the developers of Skate™, we are set to deliver an experience that embraces and builds upon everything our community found special about the previous games. We believe in creating an inclusive world inside and outside of our games for our players and our team. As a geo-diverse studio, our team members around the globe can either work from home, in the office or a hybrid of both.

As our Game Design Intern, you will help design, implement, and maintain activity and goal content in our social sandbox game. A Game Design intern defines and communicates the strategy and content for what players do in our live events. You are excited about structured content in open-world games, have a keen interest in how design impacts and intersects the player experience. You will work with and help refine a broad scope of activities that contribute to the player experience of an open-world sandbox game.

• Refine designs based on internal and external playtests, game metrics, team input and community feedback.

• Collaborate with engineers, UX, and other designers to help bring designs to life. 

• Attend playtests, provide feedback, and identify practical solutions to problems.

• Contribute to content and features that will go out to players!

Qualifications

• You are currently enrolled in a Bachelor’s Degree granting program in a related field.

• You are able to clearly communicate your thoughts and designs, both written and verbally.

• You have experience making your own games or mods.

• You have the ability to describe what makes a game system or content good or bad and detail how to improve it.

• You must be available for a full-time paid internship in the summer of 2025
  

We are only considering students who will be enrolled in an accredited degree program in the summer of 2025, slated to graduate no earlier than December 2025. Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the US on a full time basis during the 12-week internship. Visa sponsorship is not available for this position.

The hourly pay is just one part of the overall compensation at EA. We also offer a package of benefits including 80 hours per year of sick time (prorated based on scheduled hours per week if less than full-time), 16 paid company holidays per year, medical insurance, and 401(k).
