Join our team for Summer 2026 and experience Audiokinetic! Implementing portability for the Wwise application and its components across multiple platforms is a challenge that requires both creativity and thoroughness. By joining a passionate team as a Wwise developer, the intern will participate in design decisions while working to adapt Wwise components beyond the Windows environment. Several related tasks, such as analyzing and resolving bugs, adding features, and continuously improving the development framework, are part of this role. This is an ideal environment to apply and deepen one’s knowledge of best practices in object-oriented programming, optimization, and modern C++ features. Quality and reliability are top priorities. Everyone is responsible for implementing unit and integration tests. Peer-systematic online code reviews also provide the intern with rapid feedback at every stage of the work. This will allow them to hone their skills in detecting issues in colleagues’ code and proposing innovative solutions. What will you do? The work generally involves, but is not limited to, the following tasks: • Full participation in the day-to-day developer tasks of the “Core” team, primarily working in C++. • Identify, investigate, and fix bugs reported by clients or by the Quality Assurance team. • Contribute to an ongoing project, involving full development that includes design, implementation, planning of automated tests, and documentation (projects may involve either the development tool or the audio engine). What do you bring to the team? • Intermediate knowledge of the C++ language. • Strong grasp of object-oriented concepts. • General knowledge of memory structure and management. • Knowledge of other languages (Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, Lua, etc.) (asset). • Experience with a game engine such as Unreal or Unity (asset). Audiokinetic has adopted a flexible, hybrid work style to meet the team's needs while allowing in-person collaborative moments determined by the team. Why join the Audiokinetic team?
