• Contributing to user testing prep, note‑taking, and analysis
• Applying design systems under guidance and documenting design decisions
• Helping ensure accessibility, consistency, and compliance standards are met
• Participating in critiques, agile ceremonies, and cross‑functional workshops
• Maintaining design standards and best practices, and continuously developing design knowledge
• Actively contributing to team ceremonies and shaping the team culture

About you

• Internships, bootcamps, junior roles, or portfolio projects experience – with a solid portfolio of relevant design work
• Basic understanding of UX principles, accessibility, and content writing
• Strong visual attention to detail, communication, and eagerness to learn
• Collaborative, open to feedback, and growth‑oriented
• Understanding of end‑to‑end design and design systems
• Familiar with core design tools (Figma, Adobe, white‑boarding tools)
• Degree in Product Design, UX/UI Design or related field
• Comfortable working in agile squads and handling constructive feedback
