Design Engineer Intern

About Us Gumloop is the piece of AI infrastructure companies roll out to let everyone build agents securely. Let people who understand the problem build and share agents, manage their access to data, choose your AI models and host it all in your own cloud. We're a small team building as fast as humanly possible. Gusto, Ramp, Shopify, Samsara, Instacart, and Opendoor are running agents on Gumloop across their company. We've raised over $70M https://www.gumloop.com/blog/series-b from Benchmark, First Round Capital, Y Combinator, Nexus Ventures to scale and are looking for people who care as much as we do to join the team. Here’s what life at Gumloop is like:

• What we’re working on – Changelog https://www.gumloop.com/changelog ROLE OVERVIEW We're looking for a Design Engineering Intern to help shape, design, and build high-craft product experiences end to end. This role sits at the intersection of product, design, and engineering. You'll contribute to key user-facing surfaces from early concept through final implementation, developing your product judgment, interaction design instincts, and frontend skills while working on problems that matter. The ideal candidate is curious, high-ownership, and comfortable operating with some ambiguity. You don't need to have done this before at scale, but you should be able to take a product problem, reason through the UX, and start building. You'll also contribute to our design system and help establish reusable patterns that make the product better over time. This is a high-impact internship for someone who wants real influence over what we build, how it works, and how it feels. You won't be doing busywork. WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Design and build polished, user-facing product experiences across core surfaces of the product.
• Contribute to features end to end, from UX exploration through implementation and iteration, with guidance from the team.
• Use layout, interaction design, and motion to make powerful workflows feel intuitive and fast.
• Contribute to our design system, component library, and frontend patterns.
• Work closely with product, design, and engineering to turn ambiguous ideas into simple, high-quality experiences.
• Bring care and craft to the details: accessibility, performance, reliability, and edge cases. WHAT YOU BRING
• Currently in your final year of study in design, computer science, or a related field.
• Hands-on experience with TypeScript, React, and modern frontend development, through coursework, personal projects, or prior internships.
• Some exposure to design systems, component libraries, or reusable frontend patterns.
• Strong product intuition and an ability to make thoughtful UX decisions, even with limited guidance.
• A portfolio or work samples that demonstrate both design sensibility and frontend execution.
• Care for craft beyond the obvious: you sweat the details others miss. BONUS POINTS
• Experience with Tailwind CSS, Next.js, TanStack Query, or similar modern frontend tooling.
• Familiarity with Figma or other design tools for exploring and communicating ideas.
• Interest in developer tools, technical products, or AI-native products.
• Any full-stack exposure, especially enough backend fluency to unblock your own product work. BENEFITS
• Highly competitive salary and meaningful equity
• Generous paid time off: 24 days for SF employees and 20 days globally, use them as you need
• $350/month wellness benefit to spend on gym, spa, equipment, or whatever keeps you at your best
• 15 days of temporary remote work flexibility per year
• 401k match up to 6%
