Job description

WHO WE ARE

At Macadam, we've built an app that rewards people for walking. With over 16 million users worldwide, we help people turn their daily steps into positive habits for their health and wellbeing.

Rooted in thoughtful design, our approach makes healthier routines feel simple, motivating and fun. We're growing fast, with global ambitions, and we're looking for people who want to learn, take ownership and have a real impact on a product used by millions.

Please send your CV and a link to your portfolio in English.

THE ROLE

We are looking for a LiveOps Designer Intern, based in Barcelona, to join our Design team for a 6-month internship, with a flexible schedule that fits around your classes.

Our design team is small and does a bit of everything: pre-producing new app features, building our design system, illustration, motion and communication for the rest of the company. Macadam is always live, with temporary events, seasonal campaigns, partner offers and new rewards, and the number of visuals we need has grown from a handful to dozens every month. That's where you come in.

You will own our LiveOps art requests: the banners, illustrations and graphics that bring every event and campaign to life, in the app and beyond. You'll have a mentor in the team for your day-to-day questions and feedback, and our Lead Product Designer as your tutor.

You don't need to know how to do everything before joining. What we're looking for is someone with a real talent for drawing who is eager to learn: curious, not afraid to ask questions, and happy to iterate based on feedback.

AI is part of how every team works at Macadam. You'll have access to AI tools in your daily work and learn how to use them to create better and faster.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Create banners and visuals with impact for in-app events, partner offers and seasonal campaigns: if it's Halloween next week, you design the Halloween creatives.

• Illustrate characters, scenes and backgrounds that fit Macadam's visual identity: a character running or jumping, a beach for a summer event, a winter scene for Christmas.

• Design graphics for other teams and channels: email, LinkedIn, Facebook and more.

• Take your requests through Linear and work in agile sprints with the design team.

• Move between Illustrator, Photoshop and Figma to deliver final assets ready for the app.

• Use AI tools to speed up the creative process, and help us find new ways to use them.

This is not a UI/UX role: you won't be designing app screens, lists or layouts. It's about creative, illustrated visuals that make users want to take part.

WHO YOU ARE

• You're studying design, illustration, fine arts, video game art or a similar field, and your school can sign a 6-month internship agreement.

• You love drawing, and it shows: you create characters and scenes with personality, and you can adapt your style to an existing visual identity.

• You have an intermediate level in Figma, Illustrator and Photoshop.

• You have a portfolio with illustration and graphic design work.

• You're eager to learn, open to feedback and comfortable with a dynamic pace.

• You're comfortable working in English.

NICE TO HAVE

• Concept art or video game art projects.

• Motion design (After Effects, Rive or similar).

• Experience with generative AI image tools.

• Some experience with Linear or agile ways of working.

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

• A role where you'll learn by doing: your illustrations go live in front of millions of users from day one.

• A day-to-day mentor in the design team and our Lead Product Designer as your tutor.

• Hands-on experience with AI tools in a company that uses them in every team.

• A flexible schedule that fits around your classes.

• A small, dynamic team where you'll learn fast across illustration, graphic design and production.

• An international team, based in Barcelona and Paris.

• Offices in the heart of Barcelona.

• Meal vouchers, Friday team lunch, sports membership (Urban Sports) and private healthcare (Alan).

• Company events and offsites.

WHY MACADAM?

• Make it happen - take ownership, drive outcomes that matter.

• Build together, win together - support and challenge each other to go further.

• Trust the data - decide clearly, act confidently, measure what counts.

• Build for people - design with empathy, simplicity, real humans in mind.

• Think bigger - set the bar high, push boundaries, imagine better ways.
