UX Product Design Intern

Job Summary

WebstaurantStore is looking for a UX Product Design Intern for the Summer of 2027. You'll see how user experience design works across a large ecommerce organization, rotating through some of the teams responsible for the WebstaurantStore app and website as well as TheRestaurantStore.com.

Each rotation will plug you into real project work, design critiques, and collaboration with product managers and engineers, so you leave the summer with a broader view of product design than a single-team internship could offer.

As a WebstaurantStore intern, you won't simply be observing from the sidelines. You'll have the opportunity to learn how a fast-growing organization operates, take on meaningful work, and develop skills that will carry into your career. Knowledgeable mentors will be available throughout your internship to provide guidance, answer questions, and help you turn your classroom experience into practical professional skills.

Responsibilities

As a UX Product Design Intern, you will:

• Contribute to real design work, from wireframes and prototypes to polished, on-brand UI
• Participate in design critiques and incorporate feedback into your work
• Partner with product owners and engineers to understand requirements and design solutions that work within technical constraints and achieve business goals
• Support user research and usability efforts, and help translate insights into design decisions
• Learn and apply our team's design system, patterns, and tools
  
  

Physical Requirements

• Work is performed while sitting/standing and interfacing with a personal computer.
• Requires the ability to communicate effectively using speech, vision, and hearing.
• Requires the regular use of hands for simple grasping and fine manipulations.
• Requires occasional bending, squatting, crawling, climbing, and reaching.
• Requires the ability to occasionally lift, carry, push, or pull medium weights, up to 50lbs.
  
  

Remote Work Qualifications

• Access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day tasks.
• Access to a home router and modem.
• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible).
• A valid, physical address (apartment, suite, etc.). PO Boxes are not supported, as a physical address is required for you to receive your computer equipment.
• The desire and ability to work and communicate with other team members via chat, webcam, etc.
• Legal residents of one of the following states: (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, or WY). H-1B Visa Sponsorship Not Available, W2 only.
  
  

Experience

• Currently enrolled in an undergraduate, graduate or related program
• Examples of your design work is required to be considered for this role (Include a link or attach a PDF to your application)
• Familiarity with Figma or a comparable design tool
  
  

Education

This role does not require a degree. We value relevant skills and experience and alignment with our core values above all else.

Desired Traits & Skills

• Curious and eager to learn how design decisions connect to business and customer outcomes
• Comfortable giving and receiving feedback
• Adaptable, since you'll be learning three teams' tools, patterns, and ways of working in one summer
• A collaborative communicator who works well with peers and partners
• Detail-oriented, with a genuine interest in the craft of design
