Job Title: 2027 Winter Co-Ops - Software Development - Demonware (Dublin)

This role is based onsite at the Demonware Dublin office, onsite.
Demonware is a member of the Activision family of studios, partnering with engineers and creatives across AAA game studios to deliver the online and data services that power some of the world’s biggest franchises — including Call of Duty and Crash Bandicoot.
We’re a technology company that values openness and collaboration. We believe the best ideas win, everyone should feel empowered to contribute, and while we take our work seriously, we don’t take ourselves too seriously.
At Demonware, you’ll find big-company challenges with a small-company culture. We support millions of concurrent users and work with technologies such as Python, C++, Java, Linux, MySQL, Erlang, and Kubernetes. Our co‑op students make real contributions — many see their code running in production within days of joining.
Software Engineering Co‑ops have touched many aspects of Demonware. Needs may shift across each team, but co‑ops in the past have helped build multiplayer features, develop core backend systems, and design tools for largescale distributed services. They gain hands‑on experience working with Kubernetes infrastructure, automation frameworks, and scalable data pipelines. Throughout the co‑op, they collaborate in design discussions, perform root cause analysis, and automate workflows to improve reliability, performance, and developer experience.
Site Reliability Engineering Co‑ops maintain and evolve Demonware’s platform while contributing to the design of highly reliable operational architecture. Co‑ops ensure services are scalable, maintainable, and built for players worldwide, working closely with cross disciplinary teams throughout the development lifecycle. They also collaborate with experienced engineers across global offices, gaining exposure to high impact, large scale systems engineering.
