Content Design Intern (Summer 2026)

Role Description

At Dropbox, content designers are relied on not only for simple, helpful, and human language, but also partnership in the design process. We always bring a user-focused point of view and give input on design that goes far beyond language.

Along the way, you’ll gain experience in writing, designing, researching, and iterating on user experiences to make Dropbox feel seamless and easy to use.
