Product & UX Design Intern
About NeuraCite
NeuraCite is a UK-based startup building the visibility layer for the AI-first internet.
As platforms like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews reshape how people discover products, services, and brands, businesses need new ways to understand and improve their visibility in AI-generated answers.
NeuraCite helps organisations monitor, analyse, and improve how they are represented across AI search and discovery platforms. Our platform measures brand visibility, citation frequency, and positioning, helping businesses understand how AI perceives them and what actions they can take to improve their presence.
We’re an early-stage AI startup working with beta users, validating the market, and preparing to scale.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Product Design Intern (UI/UX) to help shape the user experience of NeuraCite.
AI visibility is a new category, which means there are very few established patterns for how users should discover insights, understand recommendations, and take action. You’ll help design experiences that make complex information intuitive, accessible, and useful.
You’ll work directly with the founders, product team, and engineers to turn customer feedback, product ideas, and technical capabilities into user experiences people genuinely enjoy using.
This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys solving problems, simplifying complexity, and designing products that create real value.
What You’ll Do
Own the design of core product surfaces: dashboards, onboarding, reporting, workflow tools, and alerts
Design for clarity and speed: our users are time-poor marketers and SEO leads who need to act on data fast
Work in tight collaboration with engineers, just close pairing from idea through to shipped product
Identify and fix quality issues across the product: flows that are confusing, interactions that feel off, screens that don't earn their complexity
Create wireframes, mockups, prototypes, and user flows
Help transform complex AI visibility data into clear, actionable experiences
Identify and improve areas of friction across the product, from confusing workflows to unnecessary complexity
Work closely with founders and engineers from idea through implementation
Review existing screens and recommend improvements for usability, consistency, and visual quality
Conduct user research, usability testing, and analyse customer feedback where needed
Use AI tools and modern design workflows to accelerate research, ideation, prototyping, and design execution
Pay attention to the details that elevate user experiences, including interactions, transitions, micro-interactions, and product polish
Help define design patterns for a completely new category where there are few established best practices
Who You Are
You care deeply about user experience and enjoy making complex products feel simple.
You’re curious, thoughtful, and excited by the challenge of designing products in emerging technology categories where there are no obvious playbooks.
You don’t just focus on how things look, you care about how they work.
You enjoy asking questions, understanding user behaviour, and creating experiences that solve real problems.
What We’re Looking For
Strong interest in product design, UI/UX, and digital products
Experience with Figma or similar design tools
Understanding of user-centred design principles
Ability to create wireframes, prototypes, and high-fidelity designs
Good eye for layout, hierarchy, usability, and visual design
Strong communication skills and willingness to iterate based on feedback
Ability to think through user journeys and product workflows
Seed stage startup experience is highly valued, you know what it means to build foundational processes with no playbook
Problem-first thinker: you design from user and business needs, not from what looks good in isolation
Contribute to product strategy: you should have opinions on what to build, not just how to present it
You care deeply about craft, the difference between a good product and a great one lives in the micro-interactions, animations, and transitions that most people never consciously notice.
AI-native approach to your tools and workflows, you're already experimenting and integrating AI into how you design
Strong business acumen: you engage with the why behind features.
Clear communicator: written, verbal, and visual
Strong Signals
Experience designing for dashboards, analytics, or data visualisation products
Exposure to SEO, content marketing, or AI search tools
Experience building or maintaining a design system from scratch
Portfolio that shows research artefacts alongside final UI: not just pretty screens
Evidence of working in early-stage environments where process didn't exist before you built it
What You’ll Gain
Direct mentorship from startup founders
Hands-on experience designing a real product used by customers
Exposure to product development in an AI startup
Ownership from day one
Opportunity to influence product direction and user experience
Flexible working arrangements
Potential extension and future opportunities as the company grows
