Interaction Design Intern

About us:

Our website and apps help renters search listings, schedule tours and submit applications. Support shifts are shared, so engineers spend a few hours a quarter answering customer tickets.

Responsibilities:

• Make interactive prototypes so the team can click through a flow before it is built

What you get out of it:
