Game Design Intern

Email

Our app is an endless arcade of games in your pocket, with one big difference: you can build them yourself. Use our smart AI to create and remix your own games in minutes—no code needed—then share them with the world and play thousands of others. If you're passionate about gaming and excited by the potential of AI, this is your chance to help guide the future of our platform.

Website: https://playgo.ai

 

This is a paid contractor position at $20-$30/hour.

 

Responsibilities:

 

  • Game Design Tuning: You will identify where the AI fails to understand "game feel"—physics, friction, jump arcs, and collision—and propose ideas to fix it with the engineering team.

 

  • UX & Tooling Improvement: You will be the "Power User Zero." You will use our creation tools relentlessly to build games (Endless Runners, Hill Climbers, Physics Puzzlers). You will propose concrete improvements to make the creation process as joyful as the playing process.

 

  • Quality Assurance & "Fun" Verification: You are the gatekeeper of quality on internal builds. You won’t just report bugs; you will report on flow. You will verify that the remixing capabilities actually lead to playable, shareable experiences.

 

Qualification:

 

  • Mobile Game Enthusiast: You don’t just play casual games; you deconstruct them. You understand the specific friction that makes Hill Climb Racing addictive or the exact gravity that made Flappy Bird viral. You understand the game loop of casual mobile games deeply.

 

  • Game Design Theorist & Practitioner: You are well-versed in Game Design Theory (loops, progression, rewards, MDA framework), but you are hands-on. You have built games before (Unity, Godot, Roblox, or paper prototypes) and understand the pain of balancing a level.

 

  • AI Native: You treat AI as an extension of your brain. You have extensive hands-on experience with AI workflows (LLMs like Claude/GPT, Image Gen tools). You know how to prompt-engineer to get the result you want.

 

  • Product-Minded: You understand that in a UGC platform, the creator is the player. You have an instinct for what features will drive viral distribution and community remixing.

 

This is a remote role focused directly on shaping our product. If you want hands-on industry  experience and the chance to impact the future of AI game creation, we want to hear from you!
