Motion Design Animator, Thrive Intern
Role Overview
This is a full-time 10-week internship for a second-year undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Animation or a related technical field, focusing on motion design. Day to day, you will work independently and in small groups on challenging motion design projects, receiving hands-on training, workshops, and mentorship from Duolingo Studio Artists. The role involves developing technical skills and collaborating with others to contribute to educational content, making it a junior-level position with impact on creative projects.
Perks & Benefits
The internship offers language learning opportunities, catered in-house lunches and breakfast, and a company-wide Hackathon for career growth. It includes PTO, company holidays, and frequent social events like dinners and monthly celebrations, fostering a collaborative culture. Based on typical remote/tech jobs, it likely involves some flexibility, but time zone expectations may align with Detroit, MI, for in-person or hybrid work, with mentorship supporting professional development.
