Forward-Deployed Product Research Intern

Forward-Deployed Product Research Intern Location: Singapore (Hybrid) Allowance: SGD 2,000/month Type: Full-time internship, 2027 (dates flexible around your school’s requirements) Open to: Current students only, especially from design courses (polytechnic, NAFA, LASALLE or university) About & Senibina We’re a small design technology studio in Singapore. We build Enjin, AI and computational design tools for people in architecture and the built environment. A lot of what we build starts with conversations and watching how people actually work. And that’s where you come in! About the Role From January 2027, we’re starting a new industry engagement with professionals who have their own established ways of working. Before we decide what to build, we want to understand those workflows properly. This isn’t a typical UI/UX internship where you spend most of your time designing screens in Figma. You’ll work closely with our founder and spend time with real users instead. The idea is of clarity — understand the problem first before we try to solve it. What You’ll Do • Talk to people — interviews, workshops and research sessions with professionals • Watch real work — how they use their tools, plus the little frustrations and workarounds • Map it out — turn messy notes and complicated workflows into diagrams anyone can follow • Shape what we build — share what you find with the founder and help decide what comes next You Might Be a Good Fit If You • Are currently studying at a polytechnic, NAFA, LASALLE or university (poly students, we’d especially love to hear from you!) • Study design — product, graphic, UX, interaction, service, or any other design course • Are curious about why people do things a certain way, and aren’t shy to ask “why?” • Like spotting patterns and explaining them through writing, sketches or diagrams • Are happy to figure things out along the way Research experience and Figma, FigJam or Miro are a plus, not a must. You don’t need to code, or know architecture or AI. This internship is for current students only. If you’ve already graduated, do keep an eye on our page for future roles! What You’ll Gain • Real research with real professionals, not hypothetical exercises • A front-row seat to how product, design and engineering decisions get made at an early-stage company • Room to take ownership, with guidance when you need it How to Apply Email practice@senibina.com.sg with the subject “ Application — Forward-Deployed Product Research Intern ” and include: • Your portfolio (we care about your process as much as the result!) • Your CV, with your school, course and year of study • A short intro: who you are and what caught your eye about this role You don’t need a perfect portfolio to apply. If you enjoy asking questions and figuring out how things could work better, we’d love to hear from you!
