Our internship program at Sigma:
Sigma’s early career program is the launchpad for the next generation of innovators. As an Intern at Sigma, you’ll work on various production features and learn efficient design for large scalable systems. Our interns work directly with our engineers, product leaders, and designers across the organization everyday. We’re looking for students who bring curiosity, a spirit for collaboration, and a desire for shaping the future of business insights and data exploration.
What you’ll be doing:
You’ll work on user interface (UX) content to help Sigma increase consistency and give customers an excellent experience across product surfaces. You’ll audit, write, and refine UX content and related guidelines for our product’s navigation, buttons, links, tooltips, and error messages to ensure we’re consistently “on voice” and helpful.
You'll own a project from concept to delivery during your internship in collaboration with our product designers and engineers.
You’ll delight customers with simple, straightforward, and friendly content as they explore data and generate insights with Sigma.
You’ll collaborate with product management, user research, customer success, and support team members to actively seek customer feedback that advances our solutions and increases product adoption and retention.
You’ll be mentored by an experienced content designer and product design team members, gaining hands-on experience of working with enterprise application design and development teams.
If you’re excited about the opportunity, we encourage you to apply even if you don’t satisfy 100% of the job requirements. We’re enthusiastically looking for people that will help us grow our company and sometimes we are imperfect communicators and can’t articulate perfectly what experience is required for a role. We’re looking for people that are excited to grow and constantly ask how we can do things better. Again, please apply if you have relevant experience and passion for making complex experiences easy to understand through language—even if you don’t have all of the requirements listed above.
