Semantic Graphic Design Engineering Intern - Undergraduate

Deion is a done-for-you alternative for YouTube thumbnail design powered by a proprietary algorithm. They are seeking an undergraduate Semantic Graphic Design Engineering Intern to engineer algorithmic workflows and produce professional-grade graphic designs while collaborating with a remote team.

Responsibilities:

• Engineer bespoke algorithmic workflows that apply Gestalt principles, typographic hierarchy, color theory, and other graphic design concepts to produce professional-grade, non-deterministic graphic designs
• Architect algorithmic color selection logic that prioritizes semantic alignment over arbitrary choices
• Develop programmatic validation systems that ensure graphic design deliverables meet production standards
• Build robust asset-handling pipelines and error-correction logic to enable high-fidelity rendering and system reliability across varied design output formats
• Leverage Claude Code to enable high-velocity, AI-driven development
• Document system designs, source code, workflow designs, and engineering standards to enable solution modularity and knowledge sharing
• Collaborate with teammates using Slack, Notion, Google Meet, and/or other software

Requirements:

• Submission of code & design portfolios to eng-jobs@mydataproduct.com
• Completion of a demo project
• At least 10 hours of synchronous meeting availability between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM Central Time on weekdays for the next 6 months
• Strong proficiency in Python with a focus on writing clean, scalable code that bridges the gap between engineering logic and visual output
• Deep understanding of professional graphic design fundamentals, including color temperature, saturation, value contrast, and psychological color alignment
• Technical mastery of typography, with the ability to programmatically control kerning, tracking, leading, and line-break logic
• The 'engineer's intuition' required to troubleshoot probabilistic systems and debug non-deterministic design outputs
• Demonstrated systems thinking skills with the ability to map out intricate logic flows for complex visual processes
• Practical experience deploying and managing applications within the Google Cloud ecosystem
• Extensive experience using AI coding tools like Claude Code
• The ability to decompose high-level, ambiguous objectives into a series of small, autonomous, and verifiable tasks
• Experience using Git-based version control to manage codebases within a collaborative team setting
• Excellent communication skills for explaining technical trade-offs and architectural decisions to both technical and non-technical peers
• Emotional intelligence and coachability
• Possess a 'bilingual' capability, excelling at both graphic design fundamental and high-level software engineering
• Believe that aesthetic choices must be defensible via symbolic rationale rather than just intuitive preference
• Excel at designing algorithmic and autonomous systems that don't simply follow 'if-this-then-that' rules
• Comfortable working 100% remotely as part of a distributed team
• Work products demonstrate a high level of attention to detail and the ability to see the big picture
• Aptitude, mindset, and ability to learn quickly make up for shortcomings in current skill set
• Resonate with core values: High performance, engagement, and reliability; Proper prioritization, timeliness, and risk mitigation; Outcome ownership, accountability, and meritocracy; Systems thinking, modularity, and automation; Excellence in execution and hyper-detail orientation; Documentation and asynchronous work; Resourceful initiative
