What are the responsibilities and job description for the UI/UX Designer Intern position at Remerge?
UI/UX Design Intern — Part-time — Flexible Hours
Austin, Texas (local university students strongly preferred)
Part-Time Hybrid Internship (Unpaid)
About Remerge
Remerge is a social video app that creates compilations of individual and shared experiences. Users contribute hidden video clips to a group over time, and the app automatically compiles them into a shared highlight reel of memories. You can think of it as opening a digital time-capsule of your experiences. It's a new, time-based social platform built around anticipation and authenticity. There are no filters or editing, just real memories collected over days, weeks, nights, and moments that matter.
The app is publicly available on the App Store and is currently in a soft-launch user testing phase.
As a UI/UX Designer Intern, you will work directly with the Founder/CEO and CTO to help design and refine the user experience of a real consumer mobile app.
This is a hands-on opportunity to gain real startup product design experience in a fast-paced early-stage environment.
About the Role
Remerge is looking for a motivated university student to assist with app wireframing, interface design, and user experience improvements. This is a flexible, part-time internship (unpaid) for students pursuing a degree in design, informatics, computer science, or a related field.

What We Are Looking For
- Currently enrolled as a student in Austin, Texas or the surrounding area (UT Austin or Texas State required)
- Pursuing a degree in Design, Information Technology, Informatics, AET, computer science, or related field
- Experience using Figma
- Basic understanding of mobile app interface principles
- Strong visual design instincts and attention to detail
- Ability to take feedback and iterate quickly
- Good communication and time management skills
