Full Stack Engineer Intern

Paris

Who we are

Arcade is building the future of game creation. We're developing an AI-powered, browser-based game engine that lets anyone create games in seconds — no coding required, no downloads, no barriers.

Our mission: democratize game creation for billions of people.

We're a small, ambitious team of builders obsessed with games, AI, and creative tools. We're currently raising our seed round and moving fast to reshape how games are made and played.

Role

As a Full Stack Engineer Intern, you'll dive into the heart of our product and work alongside our founding team. You'll get hands-on experience across the stack, from real-time 2D/3D UIs to backend systems that power an agentic game creation workflow in seconds.

This isn't a typical internship — you won't be fetching coffee or watching from the sidelines. You'll ship real features, contribute to meaningful projects, and learn what it takes to build a product from the ground up at startup speed.

If you're excited about building magical creative tools, learning fast, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible, this internship is for you.

What you'll do

  • Build and ship full-stack features, from backend logic to frontend UI
  • Contribute to real-time editors, multiplayer systems, and publishing flows
  • Get exposure to AI pipelines for asset generation and logic synthesis
  • Participate in product discussions and user feedback sessions
  • Learn from experienced engineers in a high-intensity, high-growth environment

Stack you'll work with

Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind, WebGL/WebGPU, Three.js, PlayCanvas
Backend: Node.js, FastAPI (Python), Postgres, Docker
AI: Integration with genAI pipelines for asset generation, animation, and agentic logic
Game Engine: Web-based, custom runtime for game preview and execution

You might be a fit if...

Honestly? We don't care about your resume or past experiences. What matters is your motivation, your hunger to learn, and your drive to win.

  • You're passionate about video games — you play them, you think about them, you dream about making them
  • You're curious and love figuring things out on your own
  • You've tinkered with code, built stuff for fun, or just love creating things
  • You move fast, take initiative, and don't wait for permission
  • You're excited about AI and where it's going
  • You want to be part of something big and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty

Bonus: You've hacked on game engines, graphics, multiplayer systems, Three.js, or PlayCanvas

What we offer

  • A real impact — work on features that ship to users, not busy work.
  • Mentorship from A-players — learn directly from our founding engineering team.
  • Founding team culture — experience what it's like to build a startup from day one.
  • Potential for full-time offer — prove yourself and grow with us.
  • Unlimited learning budget — courses, tools, resources to accelerate your growth.
  • Team offsites & trips — we move fast, and we celebrate hard.
