About us
Creating games with editable worlds usually takes 20k+ lines of well-optimised code and large amounts of effort. Bloxd gives you editable worlds in 5 lines of code, within 5 minutes. You can play our games at bloxd.io.
About you
You’re passionate about gaming and excited by the prospect of building great games that bring millions together. You have strong engineering fundamentals and a strong product sense, are eager to wear many hats across game design, UI/UX, and community management, and can iterate quickly on a live product whilst learning from player feedback. You’re equally excited by difficult engineering problems and by voxel, sandbox, and multiplayer games. You think deeply about what makes these games fun and enjoy building the technical systems that make them possible.
What we’re looking for

Things you could work on during your internship
- Create and manage your own game
- Develop new gameplay systems inside existing games
- Build new engine features for use by other game developers
- Profile and optimise performance
- Develop an in-game item marketplace
- Improve our partner implementations, e.g. CrazyGames and Discord Activities

This is a full-time summer internship (for either 2026 or 2027, or 3rd year 6-month placement) based in our King’s Cross office in London. You’ll work directly with our founding team and ship meaningful features to a live product used by millions of players.
