We are looking for a Product Design Intern to join our Product Design team this summer. The Product Design Intern will help prepare our design system for AI-assisted design and development workflows. In this role, you’ll audit and refine components, tokens, naming conventions, and documentation to ensure they are structured and consistent for reliable AI-generated design and code. You’ll also experiment with tools like Figma Make and Claude Code to prototype experiences that reference our design system. This is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience at the intersection of AI, design systems, and engineering, and build a standout portfolio case study.
This is a remote position based on Eastern Time. Talkspace Headquarters is located in NYC.

About You
Why Talkspace?
Talkspace is the world’s leading online therapy company, serving over 2 million users looking to begin their wellness journey through tele-health. According to the World Health Organization, close to 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental disorder, and on average more than 75% with mental, neurological, and substance use disorders receive no treatment for their condition at all. Additionally, one-third of the world’s population – 2 billion people – live in countries that spend less than 1% of their health budgets on mental health. Therapy is an universal need and it's our mission here to change the world by cultivating an intentional space for people to feel supported through quality care that is simple and accessible.
Combining our passion for innovation along with our desire to help others overcome the stigma behind “getting help,” we are transforming the way patients find the right care provider, making an otherwise impossible feat easily conquerable. Our network of licensed, accredited, and board-certified clinicians are increasing access to mental health for our members through a myriad of high quality therapy services: anytime and for a fraction of the price. Dedicated to our mission, we are looking for candidates that want to bring their talents into a diverse “for purpose” space. If you’re equally as passionate about making quality mental healthcare accessible to all then Talkspace is the right place for you!

Come as you are and learn about the exciting opportunities on our team.
