Who We Are:
Gram Games is the studio behind popular titles like 1010!, Six!, Merge Dragons!, and Merge Magic!, with more exciting projects in the pipeline. We are proudly part of the Zynga & Take-Two Interactive family.

At Gram, everyone is expected to have a razor-sharp focus on creating a tangible impact on their team, their work environment, and on the overall company strategy. If you are motivated by autonomy, constant improvement, collaboration, and a sense of belonging, this is the place for you.
We are on the lookout for game designers who are enthusiastic about learning, improving their skills, and growing into industry professionals. Join Gram Games as an intern to improve your skills alongside outstanding minds in mobile gaming. Throughout your internship, you’ll not only gain valuable knowledge from all that Gram has to offer, but you will also make a substantial impact on the production of a wide range of our games.
At Gram, our interns are integral and impactful members of the team. We’re seeking someone who is driven, determined, proactive, and unafraid to take initiative. We expect all interns to make a lasting impact, leaving a significant mark on both our studio and our games. We are looking for a teammate who embodies flexibility, independence, curiosity, and a willingness to explore and dig for answers.
