A recruiter/HR person, claiming to be from Insomniac reached out to me, and asked me to download an app to apply. Is this real or a scam?
Any communication coming from Insomniac Games will come from the @insomniacgames.com domain. Any other domain is not from Insomniac. Additionally, our recruiting team corresponds with all candidates via email and all interviews are conducted currently via Zoom; never through text, or any other app. Should you receive a suspicious email- please reach out via this form and we can verify if we indeed sent the email.

What If I don’t see a job that fits my skill set? How often do you update your jobs?
Please keep an eye on our website for the role that does fit your skill set. We are always posting new opportunities, and look forward to hearing from you.

When will I hear from you about my application?
We review all submissions within 72 hours and reach out to qualified candidates within 7-10 days.

Do you offer internships?
Yes, we do! We post our internships in the fall for the upcoming spring/summer. Our interns are active participants in the creation of our games, and we look forward to this program each year. To be eligible, one could be an individual with limited experience 6-12 months in a chosen field, be a student (undergrad and grad), or a recent graduate (within 12 months of graduation). We view our internships as a fantastic way to launch into the creative games space.

How do I get into the video game industry?
While we cannot advise you on which school to attend or the classes to take, we do encourage you to go to school. Most of our artists have BFA’s and our programmers have computer science or engineering degrees. Your school’s academic advisers can suggest specific programs. While in college or a specialized game school, try to get an internship to gain on-the-job experience.

What should be on my demo reel or online portfolio?
We recommend only putting your best work on your demo reel or online portfolio. A concise reel is always appreciated – we will ask to see more work if we need to.

Does Insomniac offer remote work?
Yes- we do! We learned through the pandemic that great things can still happen – even when developers are not in the same office! We do require that you are eligible to work in the United States, live in the US, and are located in a state that Insomniac can support remote workers. If you have questions on this, as with any other question – please reach out via this form and we can clarify.
