Design Intern

The Program

We are currently seeking a Product Design Intern to join Addepar's PXO (Product Experience & Operations) team in New York City for Summer 2027.

Being a part of the AddeU Internship Program, you will be working on meaningful project(s) that you can feel proud of and present back to the company at the end of the experience. In addition to having a supporting manager and mentor, we have a fantastic onboarding program to get you acclimated and ready for your time with us. Fun events and super cool swag are also included!

Design at Addepar means solving complex problems for sophisticated users. Our design team works on data-rich interfaces used by investment professionals worldwide, and we take pride in nurturing early-career designers - five of our current high-performing designers came through the internship program. If you are passionate about thoughtful, user-centered design and excited to tackle the unique challenges of financial technology, we want to hear from you!

As a Product Design Intern, you will work on a two-part project structure: a scoped core deliverable that ships early and delivers immediate value, followed by a stretch initiative that gives you hands-on experience with deeper architectural design challenges.

This role is based full-time in our New York office and requires in-person attendance for the duration of the internship. Dates are currently set for June - August 2027 but please advise your recruiter if you have any timing constraints. Relocation assistance is not offered. 

Addepar takes a market-based approach to pay. A successful candidate’s starting pay will be determined based on the role, job-related skills, experience, qualifications, work location, and market conditions. The program rate for this internship is$39 per hour.

Compensation for this role includes hourly pay + benefits. This internship is not eligible for bonus or equity.

Applicants must be legally authorized to work in the United States for any employer without requiring current or future visa sponsorship (for example, employment-based visas such as H-1B, F-1/OPT, or similar), and must be authorized to begin work in the U.S. on their first day of employment.

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis between November 2026 and March 2027. We encourage you to apply early, as we may close the posting once the program is filled.
