About Demonware
Demonware is a member of the Activision family of studios, partnering with engineers and creatives across AAA game studios to deliver the online and data services that power some of the world’s biggest franchises - including

At Demonware, you’ll find big-company challenges with a small-company culture. We support millions of concurrent users and work with technologies such as Python, C++, Java, Linux, MySQL, Erlang, and Kubernetes. Our co-op students make real contributions - many see their code running in production within days of joining.

- Present data findings and recommendations regularly to the Product team and other stakeholders.
- Proactively surface insights and recommendations to improve player experience, reduce fraud, and foster positive behavior in gaming communities.
- Collaborate regularly with Activision data science/machine learning teams and game studios.
