2D Game Animation Intern โ€“ AI-Powered EdTech Games | Fully Remote

We're hiring an animation intern to bring our game characters and UI to life. If you can make a character feel alive in two seconds of motion, turn a static screen into something that breathes, and make a wrong answer feel okay ๐Ÿ˜Œ โ€” we want to hear from you.

๐ŸŽฏ What You'll Do

  • ๐Ÿฐ Animate game characters โ€” idle loops, reactions, celebrations, transitions, and everything that gives a character personality

  • โœจ Create UI and feedback animations โ€” screen transitions, correct/incorrect states, progress moments, micro-interactions

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Upgrade existing rough animations into polished, production-ready motion

  • ๐ŸŒŸ Design animation that serves learning โ€” making correct answers feel rewarding and wrong answers feel safe to try again

  • ๐ŸŽจ Help develop animation style references and motion guidelines for new game projects

  • ๐Ÿค– Explore AI animation tools to accelerate workflows and experiment with new techniques

๐Ÿ” What We're Looking For

  • โฑ๏ธ Strong grasp of animation fundamentals: timing, spacing, squash & stretch, anticipation, follow-through

  • ๐ŸŽฌ Proficiency in animation software: Adobe Animate, After Effects, Spine, or Rive

  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ A keen eye for art direction โ€” you know what looks right, what feels off

  • ๐Ÿ‘ถ Sensitivity to animating for children: motion that's playful, encouraging, and never punishing

  • ๐ŸŽฎ Game feel awareness โ€” your animations serve gameplay, not interrupt it

  • ๐Ÿ‡ Ability to work with minimal guidance โ€” you take a brief and run with it!

โญ Nice to Have

  • ๐Ÿค– Experience with AI animation tools or AI-assisted motion workflows

  • ๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Illustration or character design ability

  • ๐Ÿ“š Prior experience animating for EdTech, children's products, or 2D games

  • ๐Ÿ”ง Understanding of animation implementation in game engines (Unity or any web-based framework)

๐Ÿข Internship Details:

  • ๐Ÿ’ป Remote-first work culture

  • ๐Ÿ“† 6-month internship, with potential for full-time offer

  • ๐Ÿ’ธ Stipend: โ‚น20,000 โ€“ โ‚น30,000/month

  • ๐Ÿš€ Chance to design real-world EdTech experiences used by millions
