About Demonware

Demonware is a member of the Activision family of studios, partnering with engineers and creatives across AAA game studios to deliver the online and data services that power some of the world’s biggest franchises — including Call of Duty and Crash Bandicoot.

We’re a technology company that values openness and collaboration. We believe the best ideas win, everyone should feel empowered to contribute, and while we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.

At Demonware, you’ll find big-company challenges with a small-company culture. We support millions of concurrent users and work with technologies such as Python, C++, Java, Linux, MySQL, Erlang, and Kubernetes. Our co-op students make real contributions — many see their code running in production within days of joining.

Co-op Program Requirements

• Currently enrolled in a post-secondary or graduate program

• Expected graduation between January 2027 and May 2028

• Available for an 8-month, in-person co-op starting January 2027

• Clear written and verbal communication

• Strong debugging, analytical, and problem-solving skills

• Resume and transcript required

• As part of the interview process, candidates will be required to complete an automated coding assessment

Specific Role Requirements

Software Engineering

Software Engineering Co-ops have touched many aspects of Demonware. Needs may shift across each team, but co-ops in the past have helped build multiplayer features, develop core backend systems, and design tools for largescale distributed services. They gain hands-on experience working with Kubernetes infrastructure, automation frameworks, and scalable data pipelines. Throughout the co-op, they collaborate in design discussions, perform root cause analysis, and automate workflows to improve reliability, performance, and developer experience.

Requirements:

• Strong knowledge of Python, C++, and/or Java

• Solid understanding of algorithms and data structures

• Familiarity with Linux and source control (Git preferred)

• Knowledge of networking fundamentals (TCP, UDP, HTTP)
