Position:
Game play consultant for the Earth Cipher mobile game project. 

​

Overview:

MediaBreeze will be hiring both paid and unpaid interns for the summer 2020 term.  All interns will start out as unpaid interns. Interns who excel at the job and are able to produce high quality work will be offered paid positions.  As we are fundraising to raise funds to pay all of our staff, we cannot pay full time salaries, but paid interns will receive a stipend for their work. The size of the stipend will depend on the overall success of our fundraising efforts. 

​

We are an equal opportunity employer, and we seek a diverse range of interns from all backgrounds.  ALL races and ethnicities are encouraged to apply.  We also seek to have an ideal 50/50 male-to-female ratio. ALL AGES are willing to apply, provided that you meet the list criteria below. If you're 35 or 75 years old and want to provide input, you are just as welcome as a 19 or 14 year old. This game will have a diverse audience and we need inputs from several walks of life.  You do not have to mention age on the job application unless you want to. 

​

What will interns gain from this experience?  

Paid or unpaid, interns will study under our CEO and founder who is a seasoned technology teacher with over 10 years experience in technology education and over 20 years experience as a professional programmer. The internship is NOT a programming or development internship, but there will be optional assignments given for students who want to explore game development and/or programming. By becoming an intern, you will have access to a wealth of knowledge and insight as it relates to game development , programming, game art, and game design theory. 

​

What do we expect from interns? 

Interns should be genuinely interested in mobile games. Interns should have experience playing 3D mobile games or be willing to play and discover several mobile games on the market that may consider elements , themes, and aspects of gameplay that we can draw inspiration from.
