Rec Room is the best place to build and play games together. Chat, hang out, explore MILLIONS of rooms, or build something new to share with us all! We are building first-party games and user-generated content tools that allow our players to make their own games and spaces, and to sell their creations across multiple platforms (mobile, console, VR).

We are looking for a PhD student to help us build the infrastructure that powers our ML solutions enabling us to bring amazing content and experiences to our players. These are paid, full-time & remote internships where you will be embedded on the Server team, with the goal of shipping features to Rec Room by the end of your Co-op or Internship.
