About the internship

Wheatside is hiring a Product Design Intern for Jan 2027. Our User Experience team has two product designers and the intern will work closely with both on real features, from rough wireframes to final screens. You can work from home anywhere in Chile. We have no office requirement. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

What you'll do

• Write short UX copy for buttons, tooltips and onboarding steps
• Make interactive prototypes so the team can click through a flow before it is built
• Review built screens in staging and log visual bugs in Jira
• Check designs for accessibility, including contrast, font sizes and tap targets
• Build and update components in the shared design system

Basic qualifications

• Eligible to work in Chile
• Based in Chile for the duration of the internship
• Must be online for at least 3 hours of overlap with the team each weekday
• Portfolio with at least two case studies showing your process, not just final screens
• Laptop that runs Figma smoothly and a stable internet connection
• Understanding of basic UX principles: hierarchy, consistency, feedback and accessibility
• Available for 25 to 40 hours a week

Preferred qualifications

• Google UX Design Certificate or a similar course

What you get out of it

• You will see your designs built and released to real users
• Running usability tests and turning messy feedback into clear changes

Program dates: Jan 2027, 6 months.

Intern pay: CLP 770,000 - CLP 940,000 per month

Benefits for interns

• Paid public holidays
• Online learning budget

Duration: 6 months. Start: Jan 2027.
