Desirable

• Design plays a big role at Wealthsimple — we help shape what gets built and how customers experience it. We’re hiring a Design Intern to support the design and delivery of real product experiences across areas like Investing, Banking, and more
• You’ll work closely with designers, product managers, and engineers, contribute to real projects, and see your work ship to production. You won’t be stuck on the sidelines, you’ll be part of a team, learning how products are designed, built, and improved in a fast-moving, collaborative environment
• Rather than filling a single narrow role, we’re looking for an emerging designer who’s curious, motivated, and excited to learn. During the interview process, we’ll look for a team where your interests and strengths are a great fit and where you can do meaningful, hands-on work
• Work alongside Senior and Staff Product Designers on meaningful, real product initiatives, contributing to experiences used by millions of Canadians
• Own smaller projects end-to-end from understanding the problem, to exploring ideas, to refining and shipping work to production
• Design thoughtful, high-quality UI and interactions while also developing your product thinking, judgment, and customer empathy
• Collaborate closely with product managers and engineers to learn how great ideas move from concept to shipped product without compromising on quality
• Participate in customer research and feedback sessions to better understand real customer needs and pain points
• See your work ship to production multiple times over the course of your internship, and learn how teams iterate and improve after launch
• This is a hands-on role with real responsibility. You’ll be trusted to contribute ideas, ask questions, and help raise the quality bar, not just execute tasks
