UI/UX Software Design Intern

How you will impact the organization…

We are looking for a creative and curious UI/UX Design Intern to join our team for an 8–12 week summer program. This is a hands-on role where you won’t just be watching from the sidelines...you’ll be helping us shape a new application from the ground up.

The value you will deliver…

• 30% Product Analytics. Master Mixpanel to track user behavior, create usage funnels, and generate data-driven insights for our new app.
• 30% Design Execution. Building interactive prototypes in Figma, refining wireframes, and helping establish our core UI component library.
• 20% User Research. Conducting competitive audits, synthesizing user feedback, and performing usability testing on new features.
• 20%Learning & Growth. Dedicated time for 1:1 mentorship, attending design reviews, and sharpening your technical toolkit.
• Perform other duties and responsibilities as required, assigned, or requested. Consensus reserves the right to add or change duties at any time.

What you will bring to the table…

• Current enrollment in an accredited college or university is required. We prefer students pursuing a degree in User Experience Design, Human Computer Interaction, Graphic Design, or a related field like Computer Science or Psychology.
• We are looking for someone currently immersed in their studies. You should be a current college or university student (typically a Junior or Senior) or a very recent graduate looking to bridge the gap between the classroom and a live product.
• Your degree path should be in a UX-related program—think majors like User Experience (UX/UI) Design, Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Graphic Design, or Digital Product Design. We’re also very interested in students coming from Cognitive Psychology or Computer Science backgrounds who have a specific obsession with how people interact with software.
• While you don't need "real-world" job experience, you do need a portfolio of academic projects that shows you can think through a desktop interface. You should be comfortable enough in Figma to build out your ideas and have a genuine curiosity about how analytics (like Mixpanel) can prove whether a design actually works.
• Lastly, you must be a US Citizen and able to work within CST or EST timezones so we can stay synced up during our design reviews.
• Design Fundamentals (Academic). Desktop UI Layouts: A solid understanding of how to design for web browsers and large screens, focusing on navigation menus, data density, and clear user paths.
• Figma Basics: Proficiency in the core Figma toolkit: Frames, Layers, Shapes, and Text Styles. You should know how to keep a file organized so others can read it.
• Prototyping: Ability to connect screens in Figma to create a clickable flow that demonstrates how a user moves from Point A to Point B.
• Analytical Potential - The "Why" Factor: A natural curiosity for User Behavior. You don’t just draw boxes; you want to know if users are actually clicking them.
• Data Readiness: A strong desire to learn Mixpanel and product analytics. You will be taught how to turn "user data" into "design improvements."
• Critical Thinking: Ability to look at a complex problem (like an account migration) and help brainstorm a simple, step-by-step solution.
• Collaborative Aptitude - Active Listening: The ability to take direct feedback and "Redlines" from a Senior Designer and apply those changes accurately.
• Agile Pace: Comfortable working in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift quickly.
• Communication: Ability to clearly explain your design choices and ask the right questions when a task is unclear.

You will stand out if you also have…

• We are looking for a student who has explored how software works across both web portals and native mobile apps. You should be naturally analytical, someone who asks why when looking at a layout and is excited to learn how data like Mixpanel proves a design right or wrong.
• We want a sponge who is highly coachable, takes direct feedback well, and is eager to learn how a professional project moves from a rough idea to a live launch. Above all, you are a proactive self starter who keeps Figma files organized and is ready to jump into a fast paced team environment.
• What we are looking for - Multi Platform Interest: A portfolio that shows you can think through both web browsers and native mobile experiences.
• Data Hungry: A genuine interest in learning how user data and analytics drive design decisions.
• Highly Coachable: An eagerness to learn real world workflows directly from a mentor.
• Proactive: A self starter who stays organized and asks the right questions to keep a project moving.

Additional details…

• Location requirements: Fully remote within the U.S. 
• Travel requirements: No travel required. 
• Physical requirements: Must be able to sit for long periods, as well as, handle long periods of screen time.
• Technology requirements: Reliable, high speed internet.
• Eligible for sponsorship: No
