We are Fatshark

We are a critically acclaimed Swedish video game studio with about 190 experienced and skilled developers. We are most well-known for the Warhammer: Vermintide franchise, but have also helped develop a number of AAA titles and we launched the highly anticipated game Warhammer 40,000: Darktide.

We have grown quite a bit over the last few years, but we still embrace the same values that we started with. We want to build the best first person co-op games together, in an approachable, fun and passion-driven way.

As an intern at Fatshark, you will work in the office full-time, 5 days a week, so you can get the most out of your internship.

We are looking for students based in Sweden who are able to work on-site in our office in Stockholm. Sadly, we cannot offer any relocation assistance for this role.
