AI Engineer Intern

Who we are
Arcade is building the future of game creation. We're developing an AI-powered, browser-based game engine that lets anyone create games in seconds — no coding required, no downloads, no barriers.
Our mission: democratize game creation for billions of people.
We're a small, ambitious team of builders obsessed with games, AI, and creative tools. We're currently raising our seed round and moving fast to reshape how games are made and played.
Role
As an AI Engineer Intern, you'll work at the core of what makes Arcade magical — our AI. You'll help build and improve the generative pipelines that turn ideas into playable games in seconds.
This isn't a typical internship — you won't be labeling datasets or watching from the sidelines. You'll ship real AI features, experiment with cutting-edge models, and learn what it takes to build production AI systems at startup speed.
If you're excited about generative AI, games, and pushing the boundaries of what's possible, this internship is for you.
What you'll do
- •Build and improve AI pipelines for game asset generation (sprites, animations, sounds)
- •Experiment with LLMs for game logic synthesis and agentic workflows
- •Fine-tune and prompt-engineer models to fit our creative use cases
- •Optimize inference for real-time, browser-based generation
- •Collaborate closely with the product and engineering team to ship AI-powered features
- •Stay on top of the latest AI research and bring fresh ideas to the table
Stack you'll work with
You might be a fit if...
Honestly? We don't care about your resume or past experiences. What matters is your motivation, your hunger to learn, and your drive to win.
- •You're obsessed with AI — you follow the latest papers, you've played with models, you can't stop talking about it
- •You're passionate about video games — you play them, you think about them, you dream about making them
- •You're curious and love figuring things out on your own
- •You've tinkered with ML models, built side projects, or just love experimenting
- •You move fast, take initiative, and don't wait for permission
- •You want to be part of something big and aren't afraid to get your hands dirty
Bonus: You've fine-tuned models, built AI apps, or hacked on generative pipelines (images, audio, text)
