Game Builder Intern at Star

Build games with AI, discover what breaks, and help shape an early-stage product. Perfect if you want to apply your skills and see how startups work from the inside. What is Star? Star is an AI-powered game creation platform - think "ChatGPT for making games." We're working on making game development accessible to anyone with an idea, no coding required. We're YC-backed and early-stage. You'll work directly with the founder and see everything: product decisions, technical tradeoffs, customer conversations, the works. What you'd actually do Build 6-12 games across different genres (platformers, shooters, puzzle games, etc.) to identify where Star needs improvement. You'll: - Build diverse game types to stress-test different systems - Test on multiple devices (desktop, iOS, Android) - Document category-level issues ("physics breaks with >50 objects") not minor bugs - Create games we can use as showcase examples - Weekly sync to discuss findings Your discoveries directly shape our roadmap. When you find something that needs improvement, we prioritize fixing it. If things are going well and you're interested, there's potential to work on distribution and user acquisition strategy later
