UI​/UX Design Intern; Restaurant OS

Restaurants have enough on their plate. Their software should make life easier.

• Three months.
• Fully remote
• 32 hours per week preferred
• No time-zone overlap required

At ZOVU, we're building the Operating System for the modern restaurant. Our vision is simple: one connected experience for Point of Sale, loyalty, reservations, staff tools and a customer app.

Our partnership model is built around a transaction margin on sales, so our growth is tied to the restaurants we serve.

We're an early-stage, fully remote startup with big ambitions and plenty to build. If you enjoy turning a complicated idea into something that feels effortless to use, you'll feel at home here.

We're looking for an ambitious UI/UX Design Intern with a strong eye for UI to help bring the ZOVU experience to life.

If you find yourself adjusting spacing until a screen finally feels right, we'd love to see your work.

You'll design polished screens and connected user flows in Figma
, working closely with founders and developers. Your work could help a restaurant owner understand their business, a staff member move through a busy shift, or a guest discover their next favourite restaurant.

Our style is calm, minimal and considered: clear typography, generous whitespace, precise alignment and restrained colour. Your challenge is to carry that feeling consistently across the product.

You'll turn agreed product requirements into complete flows, including relevant empty, loading, error and confirmation states. You'll use reusable components, refine designs after feedback and prepare organised files for developer handoff.

• Building Something from the Ground Up:
  You enjoy turning ideas into complete flows and seeing a product take shape.
• Making Complexity Feel Simple:
  You like finding a clear way through a screen full of requirements.
• Room to Take Ownership:
  You enjoy the flexibility of remote work, with clear priorities and responsibility for your progress.
• Getting the Details Right:
  You care about how the whole experience fits together, from the first screen to the last small interaction.

• Experience That Shows:
  You've already designed complete user flows through an internship, freelance work, a product team or substantial university or personal projects. You can walk us through your decisions and how the work developed.
• A Strong Eye for UI:
  Your work shows care for typography, spacing, hierarchy and consistency. You can adapt to ZOVU's visual direction and help extend it.
• Confidence in Figma:
  You've used Auto Layout, reusable components and variants across multiple connected screens. Your files are organised so someone else can pick them up and understand them.
• From Feedback to Handoff:
  You've refined designs after input from users, teammates or clients. Experience preparing developer handoffs or working directly with developers is a strong plus.
• A Portfolio We Can Explore:
  Show us at least two projects with finished product screens, explain your contribution and tell us whether the work was a concept or released product.
• Momentum with Care:
  You enjoy building connected screens efficiently, reusing components and keeping quality consistent as a flow grows.
• Curiosity and Communication:
  You ask useful questions, welcome feedback and keep the team informed. You can explain your decisions and collaborate in English.

You've worked on SaaS, dashboards, mobile apps or restaurant technology. Relevant design work within a startup or an established product team is especially welcome.

• Duration:
  Three months.
• 100% Remote:
  Collaborate with us from your own workspace.
• Time Zones:
  No time-zone overlap is required. Clear communication and regular progress updates are important.
• Availability:
  Ideally 32 hours per week. We may consider 20 hours for an exceptionally strong fit.
• Start:
  As soon as possible; tell us your earliest available date.
• Future Opportunities:
  As ZOVU develops, further opportunities may become available depending on performance, mutual fit, team needs and budget. A permanent role is not guaranteed.

• A Direct Connection to the Team:
  Discuss ideas and design decisions with founders and developers.
• Work with a Clear
  
  Purpose:
  
  Help make everyday restaurant tasks easier.
• Space to Grow:
  Develop your craft through product challenges, iteration and feedback.

We're a remote team brought together by a shared ambition: making restaurant software feel connected and easy to…
