Job description

Think beyond templates or AI Prompts, and help create original, player-focused experiences through amazing design skills, rapid prototyping, and quick feedback loops, alongside developers and product teams.

This internship is designed for people who want real engineering exposure, not observation hours.

The Role

As mentioned above, we focus on crafting great digital experiences. We’re looking for people who can create experiences across different modalities - or at least aren’t afraid to explore new ones. For us, tools are just tools; what matters is the thinking and process behind them.

This role combines UI/UX and Game Design into one, where we either build gamified products or productized games. We’re looking for an intern who can hit the ground running, take initiative, and use AI effectively as a tool - not as a replacement for creativity or critical thinking.

We value attention to detail. We value logical thinking.

You’ll be embedded within our game and engineering teams, learning our end-to-end workflow from rapid ideation to final delivery, while contributing real features to real projects. This is not a “shadow someone” internship. You’ll write stories, prototype ideas, make decisions, communicate clearly, and create meaningful work.

What You'll Do

• Build and iterate on existing application and game mechanics under tight delivery timelines.
• Implement and test designs.
• Participate in design reviews with designers and engineers, giving and receiving direct, constructive feedback.
• Write clear task updates and documentation using our project management and documentation tools.
• Contribute to post-mortems and help improve sprint workflows after each delivery cycle.
• Build tools to improve internal processes.
• Create UI/UX and game prototypes using code.

What We're Looking For

• A foundation in at least one interpreted or compiled programming language.
• Basic understanding of core game structure: game loops, mechanics, and controls.
• Good sketching and visual communication skills.
• Ability to work quickly without compromising quality. You thrive under deadlines.
• Comfortable with Git and collaborative workflows.
• Curious about AI tools and willing to integrate them thoughtfully into your workflow.
• Third-year or final-year student (CS, Software Engineering, Game Design, Industrial Design, Product Design, or related field) or a fresh graduate.

Nice to Have

• Previously shipped game projects e.g. student projects, game jams, or personal builds.
• Experience with rapid prototyping or “vibe coding.”
• Handwritten blogs, stories, or long-form writing samples.
• Art, sketches, or concept work.

What You'll Get

• A monthly stipend. This is a paid internship - it ain’t much, but it’s honest work.
• Hands-on experience shipping products within your first two weeks.
• Mentorship from designers who work at a pace few studios can match.
• Exposure to a full product studio environment: design, engineering, client management, and delivery.
• A portfolio of shipped work you can proudly showcase in future interviews.
• A potential full-time offer if you stand out.
