Our new grad program is focused on helping you – oh intrepid, graduating student – begin your engineering career in gaming in the most direct way possible.

Blizzard Entertainment’s web and mobile team is looking for a talented software engineer to help us develop mobile applications that enhance and compliment Blizzard’s epic game experiences.
Blizzard Entertainment’s mobile applications provide the players of our games with rich, interactive second screen experiences that extend engagement with our games long after the player has logged out of the game clients themselves. They connect our players to live events – from exciting exclusive coverage of our BlizzCon event to eSports tournaments and matches happening worldwide – ensuring that our most passionate fans never have to miss a moment of the content they love. They also provide useful utilities to make the process of playing our games easier and more secure.
We are looking for an engineer who can thrive in our uniquely creative, collaborative, and technically challenging environment to help us push our engagement experiences even deeper into mobile platforms. We love doing what we do for a living, especially in an environment where knowledge sharing and boundary pushing happens instinctively. If you’re ready to merge your inner geek with your outer engineer and embrace the opportunity of a lifetime, we want to work with you!
