Our Platform UX team is looking for a talented and motivated UX Design Intern to join us for a 3-month internship. You'll play a key role in evolving our core application experience and contributing to our foundational Design System.

About The Position

This internship is an exciting opportunity to work at the intersection of product design and design operations. You will support the Platform UX team, focusing on enhancing the usability and consistency of our core B2B SaaS platform. A significant portion of your time will be dedicated to contributing to our internal Design System, ensuring our UI components and patterns are well-documented, accessible, and ready for use by product teams across the company.

What You'll Do

• Design System Contribution: Work closely with the Design System lead to audit, document, and refine existing UI components. Help ensure component parity between design files (Figma) and developer documentation.
• Platform UX Support: Assist senior designers with day-to-day UX tasks for the core platform, including creating low-to-high fidelity mockups, user flows, and interactive prototypes for features.
• User Research & Testing: Support user research efforts by helping to prepare materials, observe user interviews or usability tests, and synthesize qualitative and quantitative feedback into actionable design insights.
• Design QA: Participate in design quality assurance, reviewing launched features against design specifications and identifying areas for improvement and refinement.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Attend product and engineering meetings to understand technical constraints and feasibility, and present your work to fellow designers and product managers for feedback.
  
  

What You'll Learn

By the end of this 3-month internship, you won't just have portfolio pieces; you'll have a deep understanding of enterprise-level design:

• You'll gain practical, hands-on experience with a mature Design System, learning how components are architected, documented, and governed to ensure consistency across a complex SaaS platform.
• You'll learn to solve complex, real-world user problems specific to B2B platforms, focusing on information architecture, data visualization, and task efficiency for professional users.
• You'll learn how design operates within an agile technology company, collaborating directly with Product Managers, Front-End Engineers, and fellow Designers to bring features from concept to launch.
• You'll significantly enhance your proficiency in Figma in a professional, component-driven environment, mastering best practices for file organization and prototyping.
  
  

Minimum Requirements

What We're Looking For:

• Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Graphic Design, UX Design, or a related field, or recently graduated (within the last 6 months).
• A strong online portfolio or selection of case studies demonstrating a foundational understanding of visual design, UX principles, visual design, and the design thinking process.
• Proficiency with modern design and prototyping tools, particularly Figma.
• Excellent communication and organizational skills, with the ability to articulate design rationale clearly.
• A self-starter attitude, highly organized, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced environment.
  
  

Preferred Qualifications

• Prior coursework or projects focused specifically on Design Systems or component libraries.
• Familiarity with accessibility best practices (WCAG).
• Experience designing for a B2B or complex SaaS application.
