Savvy Games Group has officially opened applications for the 2025 cohort of the Savvy Kickstarter Program, a six-month paid internship designed to find the best talent in games and esports in Saudi Arabia.
Led by Savvy Academy, the program offers candidates a rare chance to gain real-world experience at the heart of the Kingdom’s gaming industry, for one of the biggest companies out there. Interns will work across teams at both Steer Studios and Savvy HQ, located in the King Abdullah Financial District in Riyadh.
Participants will get to work in departments such as Gameplay Programming, Game Art, UI/UX Design, Marketing, Finance, and more, giving them hands-on exposure to the inner workings of global game development and publishing.
Interns will be guided by leading professionals from both Steer Studios and Savvy, with structured training designed to accelerate their growth and prepare them for long-term careers in gaming.
In addition to professional development, interns will receive a monthly stipend, health insurance, and most importantly, the chance to secure full-time roles upon successful completion of the program.
This in-person opportunity is tailored specifically for Saudi nationals who are willing to participate in shaping the games and esports landscape in the region. Whether you’re a recent graduate or an emerging professional eager to break into the industry, this program could be your launchpad.
Applications are open now, with a deadline of 30 June 2025. Aspiring candidates are encouraged to apply early to secure their spot in this highly competitive program.
