Product Design Intern (AI-Native)
In Office (Fremont, CA) || Internship|| pivotor.ai || Unpaid || Potential Full Time Conversion
About the Job
Pivotor AI is a conversational career discovery platform. Most systems today are built to match people based on credentials, not the realities of their work. That gap is most visible in healthcare, where two people can share the same title and be doing completely different work. We are building a system that reads the work behind the role and finds what is genuinely possible next.
This is an early team. The work you do here will be visible, consequential, and yours. Whatever your function, you will be shaping something genuinely new.
What You'll Do
Design end-to-end user experiences across career and hiring workflows
Build wireframes, high-fidelity mockups, and interactive prototypes in Figma
Run usability tests and incorporate feedback into design decisions
Collaborate with our lead designer and engineers to ship features
Whiteboard. Iterate. Launch.
Who You Are
You think in systems, not screens
You ask why before how
You prototype before you present
You'd rather be in the room than on a thread
What You'd Bring
- 0.5 to 1 year of design experience, projects, internships, or coursework all count
- Strong Figma skills with familiarity in Adobe Creative Suite
- Hands-on experience with MCP, Cursor, or Claude for design or prototyping. This is mandatory.
- A portfolio that shows how you think, not just what you made
- Available immediately and on-site in Fremont, CA
- Must accept the terms of an unpaid internship with potential for conversion
Why Join
On-site, because whiteboards beat Slack
This starts unpaid. The 90-day conversion is about equity and full-time
Our current team includes people from Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and Carnegie Mellon
E-Verified employer. Students at UC Berkeley, Santa Clara University, and partner institutions often earn course credit
