Interaction Design Intern

About us

The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS. We started in 2021 and have grown to about 70 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

The internship

The intern will help redesign our onboarding and settings pages and run a few remote usability tests. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll do

• Write short UX copy for buttons, tooltips and onboarding steps
• Present your work in weekly design critiques and take feedback on board
• Collect competitor screenshots and annotate patterns worth borrowing
• Design empty states, error messages and loading screens that are often missed
• Make interactive prototypes so the team can click through a flow before it is built
• Sketch rough ideas quickly in FigJam before moving to detailed screens
