Tideturners | Spring 2026 Internship Technical Artist (Unity) – Live Production Experience

Tideturners is now accepting applications for our Spring 2026 production cycle.

We’re currently developing a 2D adventure title with a timeline running now through late June / early July (~3 months).

This is a live production internship — not a classroom project.You’ll work inside an active pipeline, collaborate across disciplines, and ship a publicly released title with credited work.

Role: Technical Artist (Unity)

We’re looking for Technical Artists who enjoy working in-engine and bridging the gap between art and gameplay.

What You’ll Do• Implement 2D assets, animations, and systems directly in Unity • Create VFX, shaders, and real-time visual solutions • Collaborate with designers + artists to bring features to life • Solve pipeline and implementation challenges • Contribute to overall game feel, polish, and readability

What We’re Looking For• Experience working in Unity (real-time environment) • Familiarity with VFX, shaders, animation systems, or materials • Strong problem-solving mindset • Comfortable working across disciplines • Willingness to iterate quickly and work inside production constraints

What You’ll Gain• Real production experience on a shipped title • Mentorship within an active studio workflow • Cross-discipline collaboration • A released project + credited work for your portfolio

Ideal FitYou’re someone who:• Likes being in-engine more than staying in tools • Enjoys solving technical + visual problems • Wants real experience shipping a game — not just building one

If you're serious about gaining hands-on production experience and contributing to a shipped title in a focused 3-month cycle, we’d love to connect.
