Product Design Intern, Summer 2021

About The Role & Team

As Product Designers at Amplitude, we collaborate with smart, friendly cross-functional teams to create delightful user experiences that solve customer problems. We care deeply about helping our customers use data to build better products, and we’re looking for empathetic and passionate design interns to help us push the product to the next level. 

As a Product Design Intern, you will be paired with one of our Product Designers, who will be your mentor throughout the summer. During your internship, you will collaborate with product managers, engineers, and designers and work on 1-2 projects that have direct customer impact.

• Create flows, wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs of your features.
• Attend user research sessions to develop empathy and learn about our customers.
• Collaborate with product managers, engineers, and other designers to implement and ship a high-quality user experience.
• Solicit feedback to incorporate into your designs from your mentor, other designers, and cross-functional team members. 

You'll be a great addition to the team if: 

• You think deeply about user problems and make rational design decisions.
• You have a strong portfolio showcasing foundational interaction and visual design skills, product thinking, and problem-solving skills.
• You are humble and eager to iterate on designs based on customer feedback.
• You are excited to learn and grow as a designer.
