UX Design Intern - Summer 2027

We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year. We started in 2003 and have grown to about 16,600 people. Code review is required on every pull request, and nobody merges their own changes.

The program

Tamarackwater is hiring a UX Design Intern for Summer 2027. This is a product design role, which means user flows, edge cases and empty states, not just nice-looking screens. Our headquarters is in Hyderabad, and about a third of the team works remotely from other countries. You will intern remotely with our team in Hyderabad. We have hosted remote interns from several countries before. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Communication happens mostly in Slack and short video calls.

Your projects

• Create wireframes, user flows and high-fidelity screens in Figma
• Run remote usability tests over Zoom or Google Meet and summarise what users struggled with
• Write short UX copy for buttons, tooltips and onboarding steps
• Design empty states, error messages and loading screens that are often missed
• Present your work in weekly design critiques and take feedback on board
• Build and update components in the shared design system

Basic qualifications

• Currently enrolled in a bachelor's or master's degree, graduating 2027 or 2028
• Eligible to work in Germany
• Pursuing a degree or diploma in Design, HCI, Computer Science or a related field, graduating in 2027 or 2028
• 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
• Good working knowledge of Figma, including auto layout and components
• Portfolio with at least two case studies showing your process, not just final screens
• Understanding of basic UX principles: hierarchy, consistency, feedback and accessibility

Nice to have

• Google UX Design Certificate or a similar course
• Familiarity with Material Design and iOS guidelines
• Illustration or motion skills in After Effects or Lottie

What you get out of it

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