Product Design Intern

More than 430 employees work on the product, from search ranking to fraud detection. Traffic during holiday peaks can reach ten times normal levels, and the platform is built for it.

The internship

Remote design internship for a student with a portfolio. We care more about your thinking than polished Dribbble shots. Remote position. Most of the team is in New York City, but nobody is required to come in. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

Day to day

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

Who can apply

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 2027 or 2028. Understanding of basic UX principles: hierarchy, consistency, feedback and accessibility. Comfortable taking direct feedback on your work. Must be online for at least 3 hours of overlap with the team each weekday. Good working knowledge of Figma, including auto layout and components.

What you get out of it

A few strong case studies for your portfolio by the end. Running usability tests and turning messy feedback into clear changes. Working inside a real design system instead of starting from scratch. Certificate and recommendation letter, plus a full-time interview if things go well.
