User Experience Design Internship (m/f/d)

OTTO is one of the most successful e-commerce companies in Europe. With more than 18 million articles and more than 34,000 brands, otto.de is now one of the leading German online shopping platforms. As a marketplace, we are constantly opening up for other brands and partners and thus continue to grow. Relax? Not our thing! Not yours either? Then come to board and shape the future of e-commerce with us.

Diversity belongs to us, like the Elbe to Hamburg: We stand for openness, respect and tolerance, without If and But. Let's put the sails together – regardless of where you come from, who you love or what you believe in. Because you're unique and that's what we're looking for.

With us you can bring ideas and advance projects, engage in networks for your heart topic and actively shape our corporate culture. Trying things, thinking new, being innovative, growing beyond themselves – this is our mindset. Let's reach something big together. Whether you work on campus or at home. The catalogue, clear. Everyone remembers that. But today? OTTO is one of the most successful e-commerce companies in Europe – and Germany’s largest online retailer for furniture and furnishings. Relax? Not our thing! We are looking for User Experience Enhancement to jointly develop the OTTO (otto.de & Apps) digital product family. Many speak of “Homeoffice” – we of “hybrid or mobile work”: You can work remotely up to 50% of your monthly working hours. Our teams, together with their leadership, decide how to balance out local time and mobile work.

You learn everything about design systems: from the design of new components to the handover to the developers. You support the maintenance and further development of the OTTO Design System and work with exciting topics such as artificial intelligence, accessibility or theming. You create user interfaces with interactive low/high fitness prototypes that inspire and showcase new perspectives. You create comprehensive design guidelines and write the documentation on our design system for consistent and user-friendly application. You work with agile methods like Scrum or Design Thinking.
