Motion and Animation Design Intern

Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.

We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.

We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.

If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.

About the role

We're building AI infrastructure from the ground up – energy, data centers, manufacturing, and cloud. Fully integrated, from electrons to tokens. Our in-house creative team tells that story and motion is central to how we do it.

We're looking for a Motion & Animation Design Intern to join us for a hands-on, project-based internship. You'll be embedded with our design team working on real projects across brand, marketing, and product. Not prep work. Real work.

You'll contribute to motion and animation projects across social, marketing campaigns, brand, and product experiences. You'll animate in Figma and Adobe workflows, collaborate with designers and writers in creative reviews, and help maintain consistency across our motion system. If you have ideas, bring them. We celebrate when we find a better way.

What you’ll learn

• What it's really like to work inside a startup design team: the pace, the process, and the collaboration.

• How motion integrates across brand, marketing, and product design to create cohesive experiences.

• End-to-end design workflows using Figma, Adobe tools, and animation software

• How a design concept moves from brief to final shipped asset.

• How to work alongside senior designers and creative leadership, giving and receiving feedback.

What we're looking for

• Currently studying Design, Motion Design, Animation, or a related field graduating between December 2026- Spring 2027.

• A portfolio showing motion work (experiments welcome)

• Proficiency with Figma and Adobe Creative Suite, especially After Effects

• Strong visual design fundamentals — layout, typography, composition

• Ability to move fast and iterate on feedback

Bonus points

• Experience with Lottie, Rive, or lightweight web animation; product/UI motion; basic video editing.

Benefits

• Compensation will be $1,125/per week

• One-time housing stipend

• Access to HealthiestYou and Calm

• Paid Holiday and Volunteer Days

• Commuter Allowance

• MetLife Legal

• Company paid commuter benefit; $300 per month

Why Crusoe

We're united by a mission that matters – accelerating the abundance of energy and intelligence. We hold ourselves to high standards, push each other to do the best work of our careers, and never settle for good enough. Autonomy isn't a perk here, it's how we operate.

As an intern, you'll ship real work, grow alongside experienced designers, and have a genuine shot at shaping how motion shows up across a company that's building something important.

The learning opportunities are real. The impact is yours to make.
