Product Design Intern (Summer 2027)

About the Role

Notion is the collaborative AI workspace where teams and agents think together. We're building one place where your knowledge, projects, meetings, and AI tools live side by side, so work is faster, clearer, and less fragmented.

Key Responsibilities

• Ship a feature to production and design product concepts that balance complexity with simplicity, flexibility, and practicality.
• Help craft details of new product features, from initial ideas to visual design.
• Shadow designers, product managers, and engineers to learn about the product development process.
• Participate in meetings with our Customer Experience, Sales, and Customer Success teams to understand user needs and preferences.
• Collaborate with the Marketing team to brainstorm ideas for storytelling across various platforms.
• Learn about and contribute to our design system, focusing on creating intuitive and practical patterns.

Qualifications

• Pursuing a bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or another related field. Must graduate before Summer 2028.
• Previous internship experience.
• You are able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
• Fluent in Figma; comfortable working with coding agents (e.g. Cursor, Claude Code).

Skills You’ll Need to Bring

• Enthusiasm for product design and eagerness to learn. No specific years of experience required.
• A good eye for aesthetics and the ability to create visually appealing interfaces.
• Ability to decompose and synthesize complex problems into intuitive ideas or concepts.
• Interest in understanding how design decisions impact business needs and user satisfaction.
• Open-minded and receptive to feedback. Works well in collaborative environments and eager to learn from others.

Nice to Haves

• Eagerness to learn about designing and building tools in a collaborative environment.
• A fresh perspective and excitement to contribute unique ideas to the team.
• Basic understanding of HTML and CSS, with interest in learning more about how design and code intersect. (Knowledge of JavaScript or AI is a bonus, but not required!)
• Curiosity about how different tools work together and interest in exploring ways to improve user experiences.
• Enthusiasm for technology and design, and keenness to learn about influential figures in computing history.
• Passion for the arts or a general interest in building and creating, to apply to software toolmaking.

Note on AI: Intellectual curiosity, tinkering, discovery, and excitement to use AI as a collaborator are expected. AI fluency is a core requirement only when explicitly stated in qualifications.
