Intern: Design and Dev + /Storytelling/ARG ( GLOBAL REMOTE) in East London

Job description

PlayOps Builder Internship — Join a Live ARG Documentary

PlayOps is creating a global simulation to replace résumés with real proof of skill, behavior, and action.

This isn't a traditional internship. It's part of a movement. You'll design, imagine, and prototype how systems, interfaces, and proof might look in a world beyond résumés.

What Is PlayOps?

PlayOps is an ARG (Alternate Reality Game), an interactive story that uses the real world as its platform. Instead of a mobile app, everything unfolds through Telegram text missions and daily storytelling.

But PlayOps isn't a typical ARG. It's also a documentary. Every mission, reflection, and archived post becomes part of the record. Proof, not résumé.

The story is already in motion. The full program runs for 12 weeks, but depending on when you join, you'll step into a different part of the live arc. Some cohorts begin in the early Feed exposure phase, while others arrive later as the focus shifts toward problem-solving and building the Grid. Wherever you start, you join the global narrative in progress.

Key Terms in the Story

The Feed . The broken systems we're exposing. Think of the endless scroll, the filters, and the algorithms shaping our lives.

The Grid . What we're building next. A new system where proof of action replaces résumés, and collaboration creates opportunity.

Your Role. Join the live story, take daily missions, and decide how the Feed gets exposed and how the Grid takes shape.

Players can also opt into becoming a game character. With an additional application, we can create an AI twin version of you that carries your role forward inside the weekly cinematic episodes. This is optional. The core experience is mission-based gameplay in Telegram.

What You'll Actually Do

Join the global community in one daily mission posted on Telegram

Each mission gives you 24 hours to complete and typically takes 30 to 60 minutes

Reflect, design, and propose solutions that connect story and systems

Share sketches, wireframes, or system outlines in the Builder thread

Collaborate with story players (Decoders, Lorekeepers, Feedwatchers) to connect narrative and tech

Optionally appear as yourself or as an AI twin in YouTube/Roku episodes

Builder Roles You Can Play

UX/UI Architect. Imagine and prototype how missions, dashboards, or proof systems could work.

Interface Architect (Front-End Dev). Design how proof of action should look and feel for players.

System Builder (Back-End Dev). Propose or outline systems to log and verify actions, ensuring proofs can't be erased.

You can also try story roles like Decoder, Lorekeeper, Signal Booster, or Feedwatcher and switch anytime.

What's In It for You

Real experience. Digital storytelling and system design through gamification and cinema.

Verified identity. A PlayOps profile with verified badges, XP, and skill scores.

Global credit. Your work featured in a community documentary and Roku episodic series.

Live portfolio. Sketches, flows, and system concepts shaped inside a live ARG.

Join a creative community. Collaborate with players worldwide who are building the future of proof and work.

Requirements

Must have Telegram and LinkedIn accounts (you can create them if you don't already)

English does not need to be your first language

You only need to read and type in English (all text-based)

No video calls or audio. Everything happens through typed messages
