Design Engineer Intern

About the role

Designing for autonomous agents is genuinely unsolved. When software acts on its own, the usual patterns stop working, making this an unusually interesting place to design. You'll work on real product surfaces that ship to users, with the support of an experienced team.

Key responsibilities

• Design end‑to‑end product surfaces for agent experiences, from concept through shipped interface.
• Explore new interaction models for how people observe, guide, and interrupt autonomous agents.
• Build working prototypes in code, not just clickable mockups, so ideas get tested against reality early.
• Use AI tools aggressively to compress the distance between an idea and something running.
• Run lightweight user testing and turn what you learn into design decisions.
• Contribute to and help maintain our design system for consistency across the product.
• Work closely with engineers so your designs survive contact with implementation.
• Care about craft: spacing, motion, states, and the details most people never consciously notice.

Required profile

• Pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Design, HCI, or a related field, or equivalent experience.
• Portfolio showing original thinking, not just competent execution of familiar patterns.
• Fluent in Figma and comfortable prototyping interaction and motion.
• Able to build what you design: comfortable with HTML/CSS/JS or React, or can code a working prototype.
• AI‑fluent: use AI tools daily in design and building workflow, with a point of view on their usefulness.
• Can explain design decisions, not just present outcomes.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and can push a direction forward without a detailed brief.
• Gives and receives critique well.
