Fire Hose Games is looking for a 3D Art Intern to join our team working primarily on an unannounced project. You will work with developers and artists to help design, model, and texture 3D assets for a sci-fi space game. This internship is open to students enrolled in a Bachelor's or Master's degree program with an anticipated graduation in Spring 2025 or earlier. The internship is full-time and paid, and runs over the summer.

Our studio is fully-remote, so interns who can sync with U.S. East Coast hours may work from anywhere. Start and stop dates are flexible to work around the student’s schedule. This is an opportunity to build skills and relationships while also doing meaningful art work on a commercial game title. We strongly encourage applicants with diverse backgrounds and voices to apply. We hope to hear from you!
