Product Designer, Internship

Rilla

Rilla is on a mission to index the offline world. Today, we’ve built the leading sales coaching software for organizations doing sales offline. We have over 1,000 customers, including The Home Depot, KKR, Neighborly, and PulteGroup, using our product to enable AI sales coaching across their organizations.

We are backed by Google Ventures, Bessemer Ventures, Crew Capital, and Broom Ventures, along with others. We’re an in-office team in NYC with builders who operate like high-speed reinforcement learners—obsessing over customers, moving at a high velocity, not afraid of failure, and focused on maximizing real-world impact.

If you want to build the products and systems for how billions of conversations in the real world are captured and indexed, Rilla is the place to do it.

The Role

At Rilla, you’ll be at the forefront of bringing AI to the physical world. You will evolve our core product while spearheading new verticals across desktop and mobile platforms. You’ll tackle ambiguous, greenfield challenges as we expand into new workflows, users, and markets, working alongside customers from day one to uncover real-world problems.

There are no PMs here: you and your engineering peers will lead projects from discovery through feature design and implementation. You’ll onboard customers to early prototypes, gather feedback, and iterate rapidly to build what truly matters.

As one of three designers, you’ll play a pivotal role in defining Rilla’s design culture and shaping how our teams collaborate. We’re looking for designers who are obsessive about quality, shipping speed, and impact—especially those who aspire to be founders or leaders in working with AI in underserved industries. If you’re eager to learn, grow, and make a difference with the best peers in the industry, Rilla is the place for you.

What We Value

• An infinite learner: relentless in curiosity.
• A customer obsessive: deeply cares about delighting customers and solving real pains—not vanity metrics.
• A winning attitude: thrives with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and rapid give-and-take feedback.
• Extreme empathy: our customers are not tech companies; they live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
• Unafraid of failure: takes risks and treats failure as an opportunity to learn and improve the next time—getting excited because it means a new chance to learn.

What We Require

• Demonstrate deep drive and genuine passion for your craft. This internship role will have a strong focus on designing and shipping beautiful UI.
• Embrace a customer-centric approach, eager to engage directly with users to ensure our solutions truly address their needs.
• Champion the quality and craftsmanship of every experience—prioritizing thoughtful design, intuitive interactions, and making learning and using our product easy and delightful.
• Be energized by the opportunity to join an early stage team, helping to shape product culture as one of the first designers at a high-growth startup.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment where you ship product insanely fast so you can learn from customers.
• Nice to have: production-level coding experience in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or front-end frameworks like React and Tailwind, and a willingness to keep learning.

Don’t Work Here

Please don’t join if you’re not excited about:

1. Building an AI product for an industry untouched by modern software.
2. Constantly talking to and visiting customers in the field.
3. Working approximately 60 hours/week in person with some of the most ambitious people in NYC.
4. Attempting to build a generational company and the intensity required to do so.
