Job Description
About Us
Dorsia is at the forefront of hospitality-tech innovation, redefining how the world gains access to the most in-demand restaurants, events, and experiences. By fusing cutting-edge technology with the art of luxury hospitality, we empower our members to secure impossible-to-get reservations while providing operators with unprecedented levels of control, visibility, and revenue optimization.
As a fast-growing startup backed by over $50M from top-tier investors including Index Ventures, along with strategic industry partners such as Major Food Group (Carbone, Torrisi, etc.), Groot Hospitality (Casadonna, Papi Steak, etc.), and Gracious Hospitality (COTE, Coqodaq, etc.), we are rapidly expanding our footprint and reshaping the global hospitality landscape with proven expertise. We're adding exceptional talent to drive our next phase of growth, and that's where you come in.
About the Role
Dorsia is seeking a design-forward, prototype-minded Design Intern to support product and brand design initiatives across mobile, web, and marketing surfaces during Summer 2026. This role sits at the intersection of visual craft and product thinking — contributing to live features, interaction experiments, and design systems that shape how members and partners experience Dorsia.
This is an ideal opportunity for someone who moves quickly from concept to working prototype, has strong visual fundamentals, and is genuinely excited about the overlap between premium brand execution and product innovation.
What You'll Do
Product Interaction Design
Contribute to product design across mobile and web surfaces, supporting feature launches and UX improvements that affect the core member experience
Rapidly prototype new features and flows in Figma, Framer, or lightweight front-end tools (React/HTML/CSS) to surface testable concepts quickly
Build interactive demos and "vibe coding" experiments for internal review and early user feedback
Create high-fidelity UI mockups and micro-interaction concepts that reflect Dorsia's premium positioning
Design System Visual Identity
Assist in evolving and maintaining Dorsia's design system — components, tokens, and motion principles
Ensure visual consistency across product and brand touchpoints, applying Dorsia's identity with taste and precision
Conduct competitive research and synthesize insights into fast design iterations
Brand Marketing Design
Develop marketing and launch assets across social, email, landing pages, and campaign visuals
Support design execution for member communications, editorial content, and partner-facing materials
Collaborate with Marketing and Editorial to deliver production-ready assets on tight timelines
Cross-Functional Collaboration
Partner closely with Product and Engineering on design handoffs and implementation — ensuring what gets built matches what was designed
Support rapid experimentation cycles to validate UX hypotheses across the product
The Winning Recipe
Currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Graphic Design, Visual Communication, Human-Computer Interaction, Computer Science, or a related field (rising junior/senior preferred)
Strong visual design fundamentals — typography, spacing, hierarchy, color systems — with a portfolio that demonstrates range across product and/or brand contexts
Proficiency in Figma, including components, auto-layout, and prototyping
Comfort with interactive tooling — basic HTML/CSS/React is a meaningful plus; familiarity with Framer or similar prototyping environments is welcome
Genuine interest in vibe coding and building scrappy live prototypes to test ideas quickly
Solid understanding of UX principles and mobile-first product thinking
Strong taste level aligned with premium and luxury brands — you know the difference between clean and cold, elevated and unapproachable
Ability to move from concept to prototype to iteration without losing quality along the way
Passion for hospitality, luxury consumer experience, and ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
