Role
Who you are
- Currently studying Design, Motion Design, Animation, or a related field graduating between December 2026- Spring 2027

- 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
Desirable
- Experience with Lottie, Rive, or lightweight web animation; product/UI motion; basic video editing
What the job involves
- 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 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
Our take
Crusoe is tackling one of the biggest challenges facing the digital age: the enormous energy demand of data centres and AI infrastructure. As AI models grow more powerful, they require immense computing power (and therefor electricity) to train and operate. This surge in energy use has put some pressure on power grids, driven up costs, and raised environmental concerns. Crusoe is on a mission to make this process more sustainable by finding smarter, cleaner, and more efficient ways to power the data centres that drive modern computing.
The company started out by putting wasted energy to work. Originally known as Crusoe Energy, it captured natural gas that would otherwise be burned off ("flared") at remote oil sites and used it to power modular data centres. Today, Crusoe has evolved into a major player in AI infrastructure, designing and operating large-scale data centres near renewable or stranded energy sources. It's now one of a handful of "neocloud" companies (next-generation cloud providers focused on flexible, efficient computing for AI workloads). And its facilities are helping tech giants like OpenAI handle the massive computing requirements of training advanced AI models.
Recently, Crusoe has attracted some huge investor attention, tripling its valuation to over $10B and raising $1.4B in its latest funding round. It's building OpenAI's first major US data centre campus and even experimenting with bold new frontiers. In partnership with Starcloud, Crusoe plans to deploy the world's first space-based cloud computing infrastructure, powered by solar energy and orbiting the Earth by 2027. If successful, this could redefine how and where computing happens, opening up a cleaner, virtually limitless source of energy for AI's next generation.
