Your Future Team
As our Product Design intern, you will report to a manager in the Product Design team within the broader Design group. You'll work with writers, designers, developers, product managers, marketers, and support engineers to ensure that the stories we tell are consistent and create a great experience for our customers.
As part of your application, please include a link to your portfolio for our team to review. Pro Tip: When you submit your portfolio, it really helps to share in each case study a little bit about the problem you're trying to solve, the process you followed and why, and some of the reasoning behind your design decisions. This will help the team get to know more about how you work as a designer!

• Gain exposure to the full design & product development process: You'll see how product designers work from discovery through delivery across products like Jira, Confluence, Trello, etc.

• Be mentored by experienced designers: You'll have support from Atlassian product designers who guide your work, feedback, and growth during the internship.

  • Product designers
