Conversation Design Intern

Burlingame, CA OR Redmond, WA Internship

Come be a part of a team of designers, engineers and artists passionate about creating compelling products for Facebook's billions of users. As a Conversation Design Intern for the Assistant Design Team, you will be involved in every aspect of the product development process from brainstorming to tweaking pixels and content right before launch.

You will be expected to utilize your full range of product design, interaction design, and conversation design skills, demonstrating a strong grasp of fundamentals in language choices, prompt authoring, flow design, edge and error cases. You will build upon your existing skill set and passion for conversational problem solving, and help define the next generation of multimodal conversational experiences for our Facebook family of apps, as well as our emerging AR and VR products.

We are looking for a Conversation Designer to conceptualize, illustrate, build and deliver innovative conversational and natural language interaction paradigms. You will be expected to drive these conversational experiences from concepts and storyboards to product launch with attention to detail through elegant probabilistic designs that allow humans to interact more naturally with our devices. A positive and collaborative attitude is required, and we’re looking for a self-motivated problem solver with impeccable communication skills.

Responsibilities

  • Conceptualize and iterate on high-quality end-to-end designs for speech and conversational user interfaces and content

  • Contribute to high-level strategic decisions with the rest of the product and executive teams
  • Document standards, frameworks, processes and methodology
  • Clearly articulate your vision, strategy and design to cross-functional teams and executive stakeholders
  • Collaborate with PMs, engineers, art team, researchers and content strategists to oversee the user experience of a product from conception until launch (and then some)
  • Create and prototype pre-visualizations to help communicate UI/UX ideas
  • Give and solicit feedback from other designers in order to continually raise our bar for quality
  • Be an advocate for the conversation design community within FRL, and across all of Facebook
