As a UI Motion Artist Intern, you’ll help bring our games and experiences to life through expressive, polished, and engaging UI motion. You’ll work across a variety of projects, each with its own unique visual style and audience.
One day, you might be creating goofy, playful, and personality-driven UI animations for one of our games; the next, you could be designing clean, energetic, and polished motion for a fitness experience. From screen transitions and button interactions to UI animations and visual effects, you’ll learn how to adapt your motion design to support the tone, style, and goals of each project.
With multiple projects across our team, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a wide range of UI motion styles, collaborate closely with artists and designers, and take your work from early ideas and prototypes through final implementation in Unity. This isn’t just portfolio work. Your work has the opportunity to ship in a real commercial product and be seen by over 500k+ users every day.
