We are looking for a Product Design Intern to join our Product Design team this summer. The Product Design Intern will help prepare our design system for AI-assisted design and development workflows. In this role, you’ll audit and refine components, tokens, naming conventions, and documentation to ensure they are structured and consistent for reliable AI-generated design and code. You’ll also experiment with tools like Figma Make and Claude Code to prototype experiences that reference our design system. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of AI, design systems, and engineering, and build a standout portfolio case study.
This is a remote position based on Eastern Time. Talkspace Headquarters is located in NYC.
