Interaction Design Intern

We run a marketplace with over 300,000 active sellers and fulfillment centers in four regions. Our engineering, trust and safety, and customer support teams work across offices in Phoenix and several other countries. Product reviews happen on Thursdays, with demos of whatever shipped that week.

About the role:

Our Design Systems team has two product designers and the intern will work closely with both on real features, from rough wireframes to final screens. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Flexible hours with a daily team call in the morning. You will write a lot of updates, so clear written English is important.

Responsibilities:

• Make interactive prototypes so the team can click through a flow before it is built.
• Build and update components in the shared design system.
• Prepare clean handoff files with specs and notes for developers.
• Review built screens in staging and log visual bugs in Jira.
• Run remote usability tests over Zoom or Google Meet and summarise what users struggled with.
• Collect competitor screenshots and annotate patterns worth borrowing.
• Check designs for accessibility, including contrast, font sizes and tap targets.
• Present your work in weekly design critiques and take feedback on board.

Requirements:

• Authorized to work in the US. CPT and OPT candidates are welcome to apply.
• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's program, graduating between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Comfortable taking direct feedback on your work.
• Pursuing a degree or diploma in Design, HCI, Computer Science or a related field, graduating in between December 2027 and June 2028.
• Portfolio with at least two case studies showing your process, not just final screens.
• Able to explain your design decisions in writing.
• Must be online for at least 3 hours of overlap with the team each weekday.
• Some experience talking to users or running a simple survey.

What you'll learn:

• You will see your designs built and released to real users.
• Working inside a real design system instead of starting from scratch.
• Running usability tests and turning messy feedback into clear changes.
