We’re looking to hire two Product Design Interns to join our product design team in the Summer of 2020. As a Product Design Intern at BuzzFeed, you’ll work on designing end-to-end solutions for real problems alongside product managers, designers, engineers, and data scientists.

At BuzzFeed, we’re genuinely curious about the way things work and ideally, you are too. You’ll be joining a team of product designers, getting feedback in bi-weekly critiques, jamming on ideas together, and have a dedicated mentor to help you throughout your internship and beyond.

You should have at least one project in your portfolio demonstrating your design process and intentions behind your decisions.

In the past, our interns worked on exciting new features for the Tasty app, our internal tools, and the interface for our quizzes on the BuzzFeed app!

BuzzFeed typically has 30 to 40 participants in our internship program. Over the summer, along with other designers, you’ll get to work with interns in tech, video, business, and legal.

Read this blog post to learn more about last summer’s intern class or this blog post to learn more about what it’s like to be a product design intern at BuzzFeed from our intern last year.

What you’ll do:

• Design flows and experiences. You are excited to see your designs in use by a large audience.
• Collaborate with product managers, designers, engineers, and data scientists to help shape BuzzFeed’s products.
• Take ownership over a project that solves a real problem for BuzzFeed.
• Attend weekly design critiques, giving, and getting feedback from other BuzzFeed Product Designers.

You are:

• Able to clearly articulate your design decisions.
• Comfortable collaborating with people across multiple disciplines like engineering, product, data science, and editorial.
• Very familiar and have experience using Sketch or Figma.
• Sincerely interested in product design and are naturally curious about the way things work.

Requirements:

• You must be legally eligible to work in the US.
• You must be onsite in NYC June 1st - August 14th, 2020.
