This program is open to students with Australian or New Zealand citizenship or Australian Permanent Residency expecting to graduate, or complete their studies, in the next 12-24 months. The internship will be full-time and last 10 weeks from early December 2021 to early February 2022.

• You are familiar with usability heuristics and best practices in UX Design and Visual Design
• You have experience with prototyping and are able to create process diagrams and low fidelity wireframes
• You have experience with UI design and are able to create high fidelity mockups and component specifications
• You are beginning to learn the different research methods to test assumptions and validate design decisions
• You have a portfolio of work, or projects, that highlights your design deliverables, design process, role on the project, and includes case studies of research.

What you will get from an internship with MongoDB Australia

• You will define user needs and create design deliverables that lead to positive product experiences for MongoDB customers
• You will develop an understanding of MongoDB Charts users through established user research, competitive analysis, common behavior patterns, and advocate for user needs
• You will collaborate with designers, product managers, engineers and stakeholders to discover, define, design and develop user experiences for MongoDB Charts, and partner with the MongoDB Charts team and Design Systems team to develop and implement your work
• You will gain valuable work experience designing features for a software product while embedded in a software engineering team
