**About Colonist**

We're building the biggest digital board game platform on the internet. Last year, our players spent 3,037 years playing 60 million games on our Settlers of Catan alternative. We're a fully remote, asynchronous team spread across multiple continents, focused on crafting extremely polished digital board games that people truly love.

**About The Role**

As a Product Developer Intern at Colonist, your mission is to work closely with our game team to solve complex product problems and build engaging game modes, ensuring seamless UI/UX across platforms.

- Contribute to new game modes, features, and gameplay experiences
- Turn product ideas into working features used by real players
- Work across the stack as needed
- Collaborate asynchronously with product teams
- Learn how to ship, iterate, and improve features based on real player behavior

**Requirements**

- AI first-mindset. We see AI fluency as a real multiplier
- Currently enrolled in a college course, preferably software development related
- Available for a mid to long-term commitment (this is not a summer-only internship)

**Clear Communication**

In our remote environment, written communication is key. We're direct, structured, and always keep our team in the loop.

**Efficient Execution**

We move fast and focus on impact. Instead of getting stuck on perfect solutions, we find practical ways forward and get things done.

**Continuous Learning**

We're curious problem solvers who love a challenge. We constantly seek new ideas, embrace feedback, and aren't afraid to change our minds when we're wrong.
