Web3D Aesthetic Interaction Intern

InternshipRemote / on-site

Bring aesthetic and spatial judgment to browser-based 3D interaction, turning “clear, beautiful, and satisfying” into reusable interaction rules, motion parameters, and working prototypes.

What you’ll do

  • 01Refine hover, click, drag, scroll, camera, and state transitions through composition, materials, lighting, motion, and sound to create clear, immersive feedback.
  • 02Design how user input drives 3D scenes; tune thresholds, response timing, easing curves, camera follow, and collision boundaries.
  • 03Use comparison, playtesting, and iteration to turn interaction feel and visual rhythm into reusable states, feedback rules, and browser prototypes.
  • 04Work with core members from leading AI model and product teams to bring interaction quality into an AI-native data and evaluation platform.

What we’re looking for

  • 01Current undergraduate or graduate student in UI/UX, product or motion design, digital media, frontend engineering, computer science, or a related field.
  • 02Strong visual taste, spatial sense, and interaction judgment; sensitive to differences in click, drag, camera, and transition feel.
  • 03Experience with at least one of Three.js, React Three Fiber, Babylon.js, or WebGL, including implementation and tuning of complex browser interactions.
  • 04Comfort with JavaScript / TypeScript, React, shaders, or creative coding; able to independently build a polished Web3D demo.
  • 05Proficient with at least one coding agent such as Codex, Claude Code, or Kimi.
  • 06Available at least 4 days per week for 3 months or longer, remotely or on-site.

Bonus points

  • A portfolio in Web3D, creative coding, digital art, XR, or real-time rendering; Awwwards-style work is especially welcome.
  • Experience with GLSL / shaders, generative art, scroll storytelling, music visualization, motion systems, or micro-interaction tuning.
  • Product design, frontend, model evaluation, data annotation, or AI project experience; frequent use of AI tools.

Terms

At least 4 days per week for 3 months or longer, remote or on-site. Work directly with core members of leading AI model and product teams.
