Unreal Engine Software Engineering Intern (2025) - Canada

About Inworld

Inworld is the leading provider of AI technology for real-time interactive experiences, with a $500 million valuation and backing from top tier investors including Intel Capital, Microsoft’s M12 fund, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Section 32, BITKRAFT Ventures, Kleiner Perkins, Founders Fund, and First Spark Ventures.

Inworld provides the market’s best framework for building production ready interactive experiences, coupled with dedicated services to optimize specific stages of development – from design and development, to ML pipeline optimization and custom compute infrastructure. We help developers bring their AI engines in-house with a framework optimized for real-time data ingestion, low latency, and massive scale. Inworld powers experiences built by Ubisoft, NVIDIA, Niantic, NetEase Games and LG, among others, and has partnerships with key industry players such as Microsoft Xbox, Epic Games, and Unity.

Inworld was recognized by CB Insights as one of the 100 most promising AI companies in the world in 2024 and was named among LinkedIn's Top Startups of 2024 in the USA.

At Inworld AI, we are creating tools and systems that enable builders (from games to apps and beyond) scale and evolve their AI-powered experiences and realize amazing experiences for end users. See our CEO’s recent LinkedIn post for a distillation of this vision.

While we are solving for a broad range of AI-based challenges, games remain a core pillar of what we are passionate about and where we see the most engaged and successful customers to date. The era of “AI-native” games is emerging (see our customer Wishroll for a good case study), and more classic AA and AAA games are also leaning into LLM-based AI experiences. Unreal-based 2D and 3D worlds will be a key foundation for many of these experiences.
