Product Design Intern - Code Insights

Why this job is exciting

In this early-career design role in the Code Insights team, you will have the opportunity and responsibility to shape the future of design at Sourcegraph and tackle high-impact projects that will have a material impact on our business success.

During the 3 month internship, you will have the opportunity to collaborate and work with other teammates across multiple teams and functions to understand, research and design solutions to various challenges. Your work will be mostly focused, but not limited to, Code Insights - our new product that lets users track changes in the code base over time.

What you’ll learn during this 3 month internship:

• How to build a trusting relationship with your  peers.
• Understand the what, why, and how of the projects that your teammates are working on, how those projects contribute to our company goals, as well as current status, risks, and mitigations.
• You will build a better understanding of our high agency value.
• Learn about business, product, vision, and team and gain an understanding about how design fits into Sourcegraph’s broader organization.
• Get to know the processes, tools, and systems the design team uses - with a specific focus on accessibility & our design system
• Navigating conversations with engineers & product managers about design tradeoffs. 
• You will have an active involvement in strategic (the “why”), not just tactical (the “how”) realities of the design decisions you make.
• You will work closely with other designers to deliver high-quality results for the projects that directly impact our product.
