About the Role
This internship offers a unique opportunity for candidates to showcase their product and design capabilities through the company Imagine challenge. There are no traditional CV screenings; instead, the only way to secure an internship position is by successfully competing in this open design and product challenge tailored for Saudi Arabia. Participants must submit a product idea that either introduces something new or proposes improvements to an existing feature within the company app. Winners will gain hands-on experience in product development and design, working closely with a dynamic team, and will be considered for ongoing roles post-internship.
