Welcome to the Obsidian University Summer Internship Program!
This summer, join the team that fought with you to survive the dangers of bugs in the backyard, journeyed with you on a post-apocalyptic trip through New Vegas, investigated a strange disease with you in the Living Lands, and followed your lead as you uncovered the mystery behind the rifts hidden in the Arcadia colony.
What should I expect from this opportunity?
You will not do coffee runs. You will work directly on our games. You will test content and learn to give professional critiques and feedback. You will be welcomed as part of Obsidian’s culture and life.
• Work with mentors at the studio to learn the ins and outs of making Obsidian games.
• Receive portfolio and work reviews to help you with your future in the industry.
• Participate in organized lunches and social events with different developers at the studio meeting a variety of disciplines and personalities.
• Learn from Obsidian developers beyond your mentors in organized panels and talks during your internship.
Obsidian University 2027 F.A.Q.
When can I expect to hear back about my application?
We begin reviewing applications once the applications close and will reach out to candidates for interviews during this review process. We will update this page and our socials when applications have closed and when final selections have occurred.
When is the deadline to apply?
Applications will close on Friday, January 29th at 5:00 pm PST.
What are the dates for the program?
The 2027 Summer Internship will start on Tuesday, June 8, 2027, and run through Friday, August 27, 2027. (Dates may be subject to minor changes.)
I am not local, do I have a chance?
Continuing from previous years, the Summer Internship Program will be providing housing to non-local candidates. Chosen candidates will be housed near the Obsidian Campus.
We are only considering US-based candidates that are either local or willing to relocate for the summer.
At this time, we are only able to accommodate candidates who are authorized to work in the United States. Unfortunately, we are not able to provide visa sponsorship or accept international applicants for our internship program.
Is it okay if I can't make it for the entire internship?
Unfortunately, due to the short nature and packed schedule of the program, we are not accepting anyone who is planning to join late, leave early, or take a large leave during the internship.
Is this a paid internship?
Yes. Additionally, if there is any sort of program that your university offers for you to earn credits for internships, we're happy to work with you and your school to make that happen.
Will I get any cool free stuff?
Oh, you will get free stuff and we think it's pretty cool too.
