Job Description

We are evolving Artemis, Nexthink's Design System, to help the product team deliver consistent, accessible, high-quality experiences across a complex B2B software platform. You will help make our components, interaction patterns, and documentation easier to use and scale.

As an intern you will:

• Review existing Figma libraries, UI patterns, and documentation to identify inconsistencies, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

• Create and refine reusable Figma components, including variants, states, and usage examples, with guidance from the UX team.

• Turn design decisions into clear component specifications, interaction guidelines, and structured documentation.

• Work with designers and engineers to improve design-to-development handover, and explore ways to make it more efficient through tooling and automation.

This internship offers hands-on experience in:

• Contributing to a production design system used by cross-functional product teams; working with Figma, component-driven design, and modern UX documentation practices; and collaborating directly with UX, product management, and engineering colleagues.

You will gain experience in:

• Building scalable UI foundations, documenting interaction patterns, understanding accessibility and consistency requirements, and translating designs into implementation-ready guidance for a real SaaS product.

Qualifications

• Currently studying at university or freshly graduated in a relevant field, such as Computer Science, Digital Humanities, Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related discipline.
• Familiarity with Figma and basic user interface design principles, with an interest in design systems and reusable components.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills; curiosity, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn and collaborate.

Nice to have

• Basic knowledge of HTML/CSS, front-end development, or a framework such as Angular.
• Experience with Figma components, variants, variables, auto layout, or digital accessibility principles.
• Interest in AI-assisted design workflows, design-to-code tooling, or automated documentation.

Previous professional experience is not required. We value curiosity, initiative, and thoughtful problem-solving. It is a paid internship.
