UI/UX Designer Intern (Work From Home)

About us:

Growth has come from search and word of mouth, not paid ads. Our audience is small but loyal: about 40,000 newsletter subscribers who actually open it. Experiments run constantly, and most product decisions follow A/B test results.

The internship:

The intern will help redesign our onboarding and settings pages and run a few remote usability tests. Our headquarters is in Calgary, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. The internship is fully remote. Interns join our Calgary team on daily calls and get a named mentor. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT.

Day to day:

• Write short UX copy for buttons, tooltips and onboarding steps
• Present your work in weekly design critiques and take feedback on board
• Create wireframes, user flows and high-fidelity screens in Figma
• Check designs for accessibility, including contrast, font sizes and tap targets
• 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

Requirements:

• Available for at least 30 hours a week, work from home
• Based anywhere in Pakistan
• Have their own laptop and a reliable internet connection, ideally with a UPS backup
• Final-year students or fresh graduates of BSCS, BSSE, BBA or a related program
• Available for 25 to 40 hours a week
• Portfolio with at least two case studies showing your process, not just final screens
• Good working knowledge of Figma, including auto layout and components
• Some experience talking to users or running a simple survey
• Must be online for at least 3 hours of overlap with the team each weekday

What you get out of it:

• You will see your designs built and released to real users
• How to work with developers on handoff and handle the trade-offs that come up
• A few strong case studies for your portfolio by the end
• Working inside a real design system instead of starting from scratch
