UI/UX Website Designer Intern

Job description

About Us:
Join a mission driven team where your ideas fuel real change whether you're passionate about tech, policy, communications, or community impact. Interns at SkyIT collaborate on cross functional projects, build leadership skills, and contribute to initiatives that matter globally.

At SkyIT, you’ll:

  • Be mentored by seasoned professionals dedicated to unlocking your potential.
  • Work with a proudly green organization committed to sustainability.
  • Gain real-world experience with cutting-edge technology and impactful projects.

Are you a design senior or graduate student who believes the future of user experience is built with AI? We are looking for a visionary, tech-savvy UI/UX Website Designer to join us for a high-impact, project-based engagement.

Instead of traditional static design, you will leverage the power of Next-Gen AI platforms to prototype, iterate, and optimize professional-grade websites using WordPress. This is a role for a "Builder" who understands how to orchestrate AI tools to achieve elite website design results in record time.

Role Overview:

We are seeking a UI/UX Website Designer Intern to create intuitive visually engaging web experiences using AI design tools and other platforms such as Figma, WordPress, and Adobe XD.  You will contribute to prototyping, user testing, and refining designs based on feedback to enhance both aesthetics and usability. This position is perfect for someone looking to combine creativity, user-focused thinking, and modern web technology skills.

This program has been an incredibly valuable and enriching experience, offering hands-on exposure and real-world insights that are rarely available at this stage. One of the most unique aspects is the opportunity to be mentored directly by the CEO, gaining firsthand guidance, strategic perspective, and leadership insights that are invaluable for long-term growth. Importantly, this is the final session in which the program will be conducted, making it a truly exclusive opportunity that will not be repeated in the future.

Key Responsibilities:

  • AI-Driven Website Development: Architect responsive, high-performance WordPress websites utilizing Hostinger’s WordPress AI Builder to transition from concept to live environment rapidly.
  • WordPress UI/UX Design: Design and customize WordPress themes with a strong focus on site architecture, navigation systems, and conversion-optimized user journeys.
  • UI Design Systems: Develop and maintain consistent visual components, typography systems, and interaction patterns to ensure cohesive and accessible user interfaces.
  • User Experience Research & Strategy: Translate user insights into clear user flows, error prevention and recovery design, and intuitive experiences that reduce friction and improve engagement.
  • Prompt Engineering for Web UI: Utilize generative AI to create structured layouts, scalable design systems, and visual assets tailored specifically for web deployment.
  • UX Optimization: Ensure all AI-assisted website designs are mobile-responsive, SEO-conscious, and performance-optimized.
  • System Integration: Manage design components, plugins, and assets within the WordPress/Hostinger ecosystem to ensure functional and aesthetic alignment.
  • Strategic Collaboration: Work with cross-functional teams to align web experience excellence with functional project goals.

Required Skills:

  • Educational Background: Senior-level student or higher in Graphic Design, Interaction Design, Human-Computer Interaction, or a related field.
  • WordPress Expertise: Strong proficiency in UI/UX design specifically for WordPress, including deep understanding of site architecture, blocks, and theme customization.
  • Platform Mastery: Proven experience using Hostinger’s WordPress AI Builder to generate and refine websites, with the ability to override AI defaults with custom design logic.
  • AI Fluency: Experience using LLMs (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) to assist in user research, content creation, and prototyping logic within a WordPress workflow.
  • Visual Literacy: A strong eye for modern web UX/UI principles.
  • Agile Mindset: Ability to work independently on a project basis and meet tight deadlines.
  • Exceptional communication and collaboration skills.
  • Must be a motivated student, eager to make a meaningful transition from academic life to professional settings.

Submission Requirements:

We value what you can build more than what is on your resume. To be considered, you must provide:

  • A Portfolio of AI-Built Projects: A link to a portfolio or a PDF showcasing at least 2–3 UI/UX projects you have designed specifically using AI-integrated tools (preference for WordPress/Hostinger projects). Please include a brief note on which AI tools were used for each project and why you chose them.
  • Resume/CV: Highlighting your academic progress and any relevant design certifications.

Note: Applications without a portfolio will not be reviewed.

  • This is an unpaid internship.
  • All applicants MUST be a university senior or above.
  • We are a Canadian-based company.
  • All positions are remote.
  • We require mandatory meeting availability (depending on your role).
  • Work hours are based in MST (Mountain Standard Time).

To Support Your Success, We Can Provide You With:

  • Earning school credit (depending on your program)
  • Comprehensive Project Training
  • Flexible Work Schedule - Remote Work!
  • Supportive and Creative Teams
  • A mentorship program that is built to develop your personal and professional status.

You are a key player in our company as you help us accomplish and expand our mission to impact the Fleet Industry and carbon emissions in not only Canada but all over the world!
