''Motive'' is the driving force within us that takes us from an idea to reality. Our studio provides a safe, trusting, and empowering environment for our game teams to unleash their creativity across massive brands. But we're not talking about the expected, the conventional, the cliché. We want none of that. Here, you will help in making the extraordinary. You'll also help shape our culture. Here, everyone has a voice, everyone can be themselves, everyone is welcome.

Their main responsibilities can include art production workflows, tools, pipelines, performance, and shader development.

As a technical art intern at Motive, you will work on a game team, developing new technologies in your area of interest (it could be in tool development, procedural workflows, rendering etc) to improve how we build content for our games.

Responsibilities:
• Work with the Tech Art team and Tech Art Director to design and implement art creation tools and workflows.
• Collaborate with content creators to understand challenges and requirements.
