UX / UI Development Intern | Music Tech

About Us

At Splash, our mission is to make music creation accessible for everyone. Since 2017, we’ve been at the forefront of AI-driven music technology, building experiences that empower the next generation of creators. Our web and gaming-based music tools, including those on platforms like Roblox, have introduced millions to music production in fun and engaging ways.

Backed by leading investors including Amazon’s Alexa Fund and Khosla Ventures, we’re assembling a team of talented engineers, designers, musicians, and product experts who are passionate about redefining the future of music tech.

Applications for internships and graduate roles are open to students, recent graduates, and those early in their careers.

The Role

As a UX/UI Developer Intern at Splash, you’ll work with our designers, engineers, and game developers to improve and refine the user experience of our web and gaming-based music tools. You’ll be designing and developing intuitive, beautiful, and high-performance interfaces that make music creation fun and accessible.

This role is perfect for those who are passionate about front-end development, user experience, and design. You’ll be expected to translate user needs into seamless, engaging, and visually stunning experiences while embracing AI tools to accelerate your workflow.

We expect our interns to be independent problem-solvers – while you’ll work alongside experienced designers and engineers, you’ll also be given opportunities to explore, iterate, and innovate on your own.

Responsibilities

• Design and develop intuitive, high-performance front-end experiences for Splash’s music tools across web and gaming.
• Work closely with designers to bring wireframes, mockups, and prototypes to life using modern front-end technologies.
• Implement responsive and accessible user interfaces using React, TypeScript, and CSS frameworks.
• Optimize UI performance, ensuring smooth animations, interactions, and scalability across devices.
• Use AI-powered design and development tools to streamline workflows and improve efficiency.
• Conduct user research and usability testing to identify pain points and improve the user journey.
• Stay up to date with UI/UX best practices, design trends, and emerging front-end technologies.
• Collaborate with engineers and product managers to test, iterate, and refine features based on user feedback.
• Participate in design critiques, brainstorming sessions, and knowledge-sharing initiatives to elevate design quality.

About You:

We’re looking for go-getters who are creative, detail-oriented, and eager to learn. Ideal candidates will have:

• Experience with front-end technologies (React, TypeScript, JavaScript, HTML, CSS).
• A passion for UX/UI design and a strong understanding of user-centered principles.
• A problem-solving mindset – you enjoy debugging, troubleshooting, and finding creative design solutions.
• Interest in web and gaming UI development, with a focus on interactive and immersive experiences.
• A strong desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
• Familiarity with AI-powered design tools (e.g., Figma plugins, AI-driven prototyping tools) and how they can accelerate workflows.
• An eagerness to understand how a product-driven tech company operates and to contribute beyond design—e.g., by testing products, giving feedback, and engaging with our culture of music, gaming, and innovation.

What to expect

• Work alongside a small but powerful team of experts from companies like Spotify, SoundCloud, Twitch, Amazon, and Apple.
• Gain hands-on experience in a startup environment where your contributions directly impact our products.
• Learn best practices in UI/UX design, front-end development, and AI-driven workflows from experienced mentors.
• Collaborate in a dynamic, multidisciplinary team of engineers, musicians, designers, and product experts.
• Access to flexible remote work options or our Brisbane office hub in Fortitude Valley.
• Please note, we are a global team, cross-over hours with US and Australia is a requirement for this role.

Application Process

To apply, please include:

• Your resume and a brief cover letter.
• A portfolio link showcasing UI/UX projects, prototypes, or interactive designs.
• Examples of design work or front-end projects you’re proud of, whether they’re personal, academic, or professional.
• Successful applicants will be invited to complete a technical assessment to evaluate design thinking, front-end development skills, and problem-solving abilities.

This is your opportunity to showcase your ability to create intuitive, engaging user experiences and demonstrate how you tackle UI/UX challenges.

We receive a high volume of applications for junior roles. Make sure your resume, LinkedIn, and portfolio reflect your skills, experience, and ability to stand out. Consider how you’re using AI tools to enhance your design process and why you’d thrive in a fast-moving, product-led startup environment.
