[Hiring] Intern - Game Artist & Graphic designer @Tamatem

Role Description

We are looking for a creative and passionate Game Artist Intern to join our team! As an intern, you will have the opportunity to work on exciting projects, contributing to the creation of in-game art, UI assets, and marketing materials. You'll gain hands-on experience and collaborate with talented professionals while learning about the mobile gaming industry's art production pipeline.

We're looking for a Game Artist Intern to join our Creative Department and grow into a versatile, multi-surface artist. You'll work alongside our Game Artists, Marketing Artists, and Brand Designer on real shipping work across our game portfolio UI screens, localization assets, in-game promos, and brand support.

This internship is built for someone with strong design fundamentals, a curious eye, and the discipline to learn fast across very different visual languages. You won't be doing busywork; you'll be shipping assets that players actually see, with mentorship from the team.

What You’ll Do:

• Assist on in-game assets across multiple titles: UI elements, icons, illustrations, event art, and in-game social assets, under the guidance of Game Artist.
• Get exposure to diverse visual languages - stylized casual, anime MMORPG, medieval SLG, and traditional card-game aesthetics.
• Contribute to mood boards, references, and visual exploration during feature pre-production.
• Support Arabic adaptation passes: RTL layout adjustments, Arabic typography, and text-in-image localization.
• Build a strong eye for what reads as authentically Arabic vs. mechanically translated.
• Help produce promotional art for LiveOps events, seasonal moments (Ramadan, Eid, National Day), and feature launches.
• Assist the Brand Designer on pitch decks, event identity, social-media assets, and internal comms visuals.
• Learn to apply brand guidelines consistently across touchpoints.

Qualifications

• A portfolio showcasing your artistic skills and passion for art (Academic or personal Projects).
• AI fluency is required, not optional - you should already be using AI image, ideation, or workflow tools in your practice and able to show examples of how they've sharpened your output.
• Curiosity, a high taste bar, and the ability to take feedback without ego.
• Familiarity with design tools such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar software.
• Basic understanding of visual design principles like color theory, composition, and layout.
• Familiarity with mobile games and a passion for gaming.

Benefits

• Ship real assets seen by millions of players across MENA - not internship busywork.
• Learn from a senior, multidisciplinary creative team in a department where craft and AI fluency are equally valued.
• Grow into a Game Artist role with real ownership across game art, UI/UX, localization, and brand.
