Product Intern

OpenGov•Atlanta, GA

6d•$25 - $25•Onsite

About The Position

OpenGov is seeking Product Engineer Interns to learn about product ownership, from customer discovery to delivery. This internship focuses on a new role leveraging AI for execution, emphasizing product thinking, customer curiosity, and decision-making. While engineering skills using AI-native tooling will be introduced, the primary focus is on developing product management and UX design capabilities. The role is ideal for individuals with a background or strong interest in product management, UX design, engineering, or a combination thereof, who seek hands-on ownership of product problems. The 10-week internship runs from June 7, 2027, through August 13, 2027.

Requirements

Currently pursuing a degree in computer science, information systems, product design, HCI, business, or a closely adjacent field — or equivalent self-directed experience.
Genuine curiosity about customers and why products succeed or fail; you find yourself asking "who is this for and does it actually solve their problem?"
Strong written communication: you can articulate a product decision clearly enough that an engineer and a designer walk away aligned.
Comfort with ambiguity and speed: you make reasonable decisions with incomplete information rather than waiting for certainty.
Willingness to grow into code fluency using AI-native tooling — you don't need to arrive as a developer, but you must be willing to get there.

Nice To Haves

Prior exposure to product management, UX design, software development, or customer research is a plus — in any form (coursework, projects, prior internships, side work).
Familiarity with design tools (Figma, etc.) or development tooling is welcome but not required.

Responsibilities

Participate in customer discovery conversations; synthesize what you hear into defensible product decisions.
Define user experience flows and interaction patterns within the existing design system.
Write intent documents that AI tooling can execute against; review AI-generated specs for accuracy and completeness.
Partner with your engineering and product mentor to resolve ambiguity in real time during the development cycle.
Track adoption and usage metrics for your scoped area; use them to drive iteration.
Present your product area and findings in a final intern showcase — covering the customer problem, what you built, and what you would do next.
Surface gaps, risks, and unanswered questions proactively; don't wait to be asked.
