Job Description

We like to think of ourselves as more than just developers. We're a friendly group of around 300 people with plenty of casual and hardcore gamers, tech heads and creative masterminds, organized planners, and nerdy game fans who make this industry so fun. And we’re all together on a mission to open windows to amazing worlds. We've been making games for over 30 years, crafting and publishing unique experiences that have put us on the path to becoming a leader in Online Worlds.

We've got four studios spread across Norway, the USA, Portugal, and Romania, and we're always on the lookout for more dedicated people to join our ranks.

We're all about creating a relaxed and equal workspace where flat communication and our agile structure are key to delivering world-class games.

So, if you're ready to make your mark, we're ready to welcome you!

About the internship program

Applications are now open for our 2027 internship program at our Oslo studio. We are welcoming students currently enrolled in a relevant Bachelor’s or Master’s degree program (production, project management, business administration, game development, media, communication, or a related field) at an educational institution in Norway, who want to complete an unpaid internship as part of their studies.

Because arrangements for internships vary between institutions and programs, we encourage you to confirm the requirements with your institution before applying.

The program offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience, learn from experienced colleagues and mentors, and contribute towards a real game.

Application deadline: September 23, 2026

Time and place 

Time of the internship: January-May 2027

Place: Oslo, Norway, On-site. You will need to arrange and cover your own travel and accommodation. You'll also have access to our free breakfast bar and lunch.

Our goal is to help set you up for a strong career in game development. After completing the internship, you'll be very welcome to apply for open positions at Funcom.

Your Mission at Funcom

We are looking for a Production Assistant Intern to join our Production team. You'll gain hands-on experience with game-development workflows, support collaboration across disciplines, and contribute to a live project while learning from experienced colleagues.

How you can have an impact in your position

  • Support teams in coordinating day-to-day tasks and workflows across disciplines.

  • Learn how production tools and processes help teams plan, prioritize, and solve problems together.
  • Contribute to reviews, playtests, feedback sessions, and follow-up actions.
  • Help keep task information and production documentation clear and up to date.

What we're looking for

You do not need professional game industry or previous production experience. We're interested in what you've learned through your studies, group projects, student organizations, or other collaborative work, and in your curiosity and willingness to grow.

  • A strong interest in game development and production.
  • Clear communication skills in English.
  • A collaborative mindset and eagerness to learn from different disciplines.
  • An organized approach to tasks, information, and follow-up.
  • The ability to adapt to new tools and processes.
