The internship
There's a Junior Unity Developer internship open at Tidel Park in Taramani, Chennai. On-site, paying up to ₹15,500 a month, no prior professional experience required.
What the work involves
- Build and program gameplay features from spec to working prototype
- Work alongside designers and artists rather than in isolation
- Test and debug game mechanics as they come together
- Optimize performance before anything ships
Some days are heads-down coding. Others involve sitting with an artist to figure out why an animation isn't triggering the way the design doc says it should.
Skills that matter
- Unity, at a working level
- C#
- Game physics and 3D math
- Debugging
Creativity counts too, and not in a vague sense. The role needs someone who can look at a gameplay problem and come up with a workable solution rather than just implementing exactly what's written down.
Who this suits
A bachelor's degree is required. Computer science and game design are the usual backgrounds, though what actually gets tested in the interview is whether a candidate can reason through a physics bug or a broken animation state, not which specific degree they hold.
Where this sits
The internship runs out of Tidel Park, working within a small game development team rather than a large studio. Naukri Mitra has this listed among a run of Unity developer jobs in Chennai this cycle, with the employer noting a real interest in converting strong interns into full-time hires once the internship wraps.
What comes with it
- Monthly stipend of up to ₹15,500
- Mentorship from senior developers on the team
- A certificate of completion
- On-site cafeteria access and commute or cab support
Genuine potential for a full-time offer sits alongside those, for anyone who performs well over the internship period.
Applying
A resume alone won't say much here. Include a link to a playable build, a game jam entry, or even a small personal Unity project. A working demo shows more about how someone actually codes than a bullet list of engine names. Shortlisted candidates get a brief call, followed by a short technical exercise that reflects the kind of debugging the job actually involves. Expect to hear back within two weeks, and anyone considering Unity developer jobs near me should keep in mind that this one is strictly on-site in Taramani.
