Product Design Intern

About the Team

At DoorDash, design shapes how millions of people connect with their local economy and we put our customers at the center of our product strategy. Our design team crafts thoughtful experiences across the ecosystem, from consumers ordering their favorite meals to merchants growing their businesses and Dashers delivering with care.

About the Role

Design is changing faster than at any point in the last decade, and we're building the team that defines what comes next. As a Product Design Intern, you'll work on real projects that impact our customers, merchants, and Dashers. You'll collaborate with product, research, data, and engineering to prototype your concepts, test with real users, and ship improvements to millions of users. You will have the opportunity to join one of our core teams: Consumer, Merchant, Dasher, Ads & Promos, or Customer Experience & Integrity. Based on your skills, interests, and business priorities you'll be paired with a dedicated manager and supported by a community of designers passionate about learning and helping each other grow. This will be a 12-week summer internship program hosted onsite at our San Francisco or New York City offices. There will be relocation support as needed.

You're excited about this opportunity because you will...

• Drive a real project from early explorations to polished, shipped work that reaches millions of users.
• Use AI throughout your process - exploring divergent directions, building high-fidelity prototypes, and pressure-testing ideas - while helping shape how our product becomes smarter, more intuitive, and more human.
• Collaborate closely with designers, engineers, PMs, and researchers to identify opportunities and ensure high-quality implementation.
• Learn from a dedicated manager and a community of peers in a fast-paced, mission-driven environment that values curiosity, craft, and collaboration.

We're excited about you because...

• You're currently pursuing a degree in design or tech (e.g. Human-Computer Interaction, Interaction Design, Digital Design, Industrial Design, Computer Science, or a technology-related field) with an expected graduation in Fall 2027 or Spring/Summer 2028.
• You are available for a full-time internship over Summer 2027.
• You have a portfolio (school, internships, or side projects) that shows strong design fundamentals - visuals, interaction design, and user-centered problem solving.
• AI is already part of your process, and your portfolio includes at least one case study showing how you applied AI in your work or designed an AI-powered experience.
• You're comfortable using prototypes to communicate and test your ideas, leveraging tools like Figma and AI-driven tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code) to move quickly.
• You're excited to learn, comfortable making decisions or asking for help, and able to iterate quickly as you incorporate feedback.
