UX Product Design Intern

Job Summary

WebstaurantStore is looking for a UX Product Design Intern for the Summer of 2027. You'll see how user experience design works across a large ecommerce organization, rotating through some of the teams responsible for the WebstaurantStore app and website as well as TheRestaurantStore.com.

Each rotation will plug you into real project work, design critiques, and collaboration with product managers and engineers, so you leave the summer with a broader view of product design than a single-team internship could offer.

As a WebstaurantStore intern, you won't simply be observing from the sidelines. You'll have the opportunity to learn how a fast-growing organization operates, take on meaningful work, and develop skills that will carry into your career. Knowledgeable mentors will be available throughout your internship to provide guidance, answer questions, and help you turn your classroom experience into practical professional skills.  

Remote Work Qualifications

• Access to a reliable and secure high-speed internet connection. Cable or fiber internet connections (at least 75mbps download/10mbps upload) are preferred, as satellite connections often cannot support the technologies used to perform day-to-day tasks.
• Access to a home router and modem.
• A dedicated home office space that is noise- and distraction-free. The space should have strong wireless connection or a wired Ethernet connection (wired connection is preferred, if possible).
• A valid, physical address (apartment, suite, etc.). PO Boxes are not supported, as a physical address is required for you to receive your computer equipment.
• The desire and ability to work and communicate with other team members via chat, webcam, etc.
• Legal residents of one of the following states: (AK, AL, AR, AZ, CT, DE, FL, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NH, NM, NV, OH, OK, PA, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, and WY).
