UX Intern (Two Openings)

SYBO is part of the Miniclip family and known for the widely popular game, Subway Surfers - the most downloaded mobile game in the world, with over four billion downloads. Located in the heart of Copenhagen, we aim to create playful moments that inspire our fans to care.

We're looking for two skilled and player-first thinking students to join us as a UX Intern on Subway Surfers - the most downloaded game in the world that continues to remain at the top of the charts - and our new game being released on Feb 26th: Subway Surfers City. Bring your affinity and love for games and help us improve ours. Join us and learn how to build and sustain one of the most popular games of all time, or how we ensure Subway Surfers City becomes a smashing success too.

This internship is unpaid and full-time running for the fall semester in 2026.

Your time at SYBO

In your ramp-up month, you'll have the opportunity to learn from our team, delve into design, and grasp the relationship between design, UI, and UX. Should you feel ready, you'll also have the chance to present insights from user testing or UX research/analysis.

In your contributor months, you'll collaborate closely with game designers and UI artists. You will be exploring design solutions in Figma and contributing directly with your own designs. Where possible, you will be testing how our players understand our game.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with a multidisciplinary team (Product, Art, Engineering, QA & Analytics) to design, layout, prototype and test smaller features that result in a high-quality, feel-good, gameplay experience for our players.

  • Learn to understand and predict player needs and player motivations. Use your specific skills to make our games easy to understand and fun to play to a wide group of people.

  • Build a habit of thinking of and understanding the product and player base, and how that should be affecting your designs

  • Initiate playtests and surveys to get feedback and understanding of player motivation and behavior

  • Create UX mock-ups and wireframes (or simple interactive prototypes if able) to explore, communicate, and validate design ideas early in the process

Requirements

  • Natural curiosity, clear sense of wanting to learn and improve

  • Design thinking with a focus on users

  • An interest in mobile games and games in general

  • A desire to create lasting products

It is a requirement to be enrolled in a university program that supports a full-time internship as part of the education - and you need to be able to commute to our Copenhagen office on a daily basis.

We do not offer relocation, VISA, or house search assistance for internships.
