Designing what comes next.

New technologies are transforming the way we live, work, and interact with services. The challenge is to create experiences that make sense for people.

At Instinct, we are looking for someone with the curiosity to explore, experience with artificial intelligence tools, and enthusiasm for turning ideas into useful products and services.

If you enjoy discovering how people use things and imagining how they could be better, we want to hear from you.

About Instinct

Instinct is an innovation agency that supports large companies in transforming their businesses and adopting new technologies and new ways of working, using a Human-Centred Design approach.

Since 2012, we have been studying new-economy companies and emerging technologies that transform behaviours, habits, and businesses.

We combine strategy, design, and technology to help companies deliver their best version of the future. We use software-as-a-service, no-code platforms, and artificial intelligence to experiment, learn, and build. We always start with people and challenges — not with technology.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a Full-stack Designer with experience in artificial intelligence platforms to join the Instinct team on a 6-month paid internship under the DNA Match programme, aimed at residents of the municipality of Cascais. More information here - DNA Match 9th edition.

What is it like to be a designer at Instinct?

It means being curious across multiple disciplines: from graphic design, fundamental to any design work, to product, service, and experience design. It means exploring apps, websites, video, interfaces, connected devices, and digital services to create solutions that meet real needs.

At Instinct, designers are guided by Human-Centred Design and use collaborative and artificial intelligence tools to explore ideas, create, and experiment.

It means designing the use cases of the future and guiding clients through their digital transition, crafting innovative experiences with attention to detail. Always with elegance.

You will collaborate with other designers and business analysts across the various project phases: from exploring trends and needs to prototyping, user testing, and refining solutions.

We value curiosity, a willingness to learn, and academic, personal, or professional projects that show how you think and what you have experimented with creating.

• Create and communicate: collaborate on creating graphic solutions and produce audiovisual content and communication materials.

• Test and improve: assist with the validation of solutions and new use cases through prototypes and user testing, contributing to their refinement based on feedback.
