Product & Design Intern (Tabby Image)

How you get this role

• Come up with a product idea for Tabby: something new, or a change to what is already there.
• Send it in whatever form shows it best: a written page, a Figma file, a clickable prototype, working code, or a short video. One of them is enough, and there is no required format. Everything reaches us as a link. The entry form requires one and there is no file upload, so a written entry is sent as a link to the written page. Every link has to open for anyone holding it. Our design system is public at .
• Entries are read blind. Your name is hidden while the panel scores.
• The strongest entrants present their work live at the final, in front of an audience. That session replaces the interview for this role. Naming you publicly as a winner needs your separate consent, and refusing it does not disqualify you.

What you will do

• Take a real problem in the Tabby app from question to shipped change
• Run the research. Talk to users, read the data, and work out what is actually broken
• Size the problem honestly and say what you would not do

• Design the solution in Figma: flows, screens, states, edge cases
• Take the work through critique with the product and design team and rework it
• Hand off to engineers and stay with the build through release

• Measure what happened and say plainly whether it worked
• Bring the result back to the team, including when the answer is no

• Work with engineers, analysts and product managers on the same problem
• Present your work, defend the decisions, and change your mind when the evidence says so
• Write clearly enough that someone who was not in the room can act on it

Required

• 18 or over
• Evidence that you can make a product decision, not just draw a screen. Your challenge entry is that evidence
• Comfortable in Figma: components, prototyping, handing work over to engineers
• Clear written Arabic or English. Both are judged the same way and no translation is needed
• Willingness to have your work argued with, and to argue back with evidence

Strong plus

• Any shipped work: a personal app, a university project that reached real users, freelance product work
• Basic comfort with data: reading a funnel, understanding what a metric is actually saying
• Front-end familiarity, enough to know what is cheap and what is expensive to build
• Interest in fintech, payments, or how people in Saudi actually handle money

What we do not expect

• Professional product or design experience
• A degree in design
• A polished portfolio. Work in progress counts
• Certifications of any kind

Eligibility

• Anyone living in Saudi Arabia, 18 or over, citizens and residents alike, entering as individuals
• There are no team entries
• Current Tabby employees and contractors, their immediate families, and anyone who left Tabby in the last twelve months cannot enter
• We expect a full-time level of engagement. The internship is not part-time. Performance, ownership and involvement are expected at a full-time level

Format

• Six months, starting after the final in mid-October 2026
• Funded and paid in full by Tabby, SAR 3,000 a month
• Full integration into a product or design team at Tabby, matched to the work you did in the challenge
• Distributed team across multiple countries. If you are based in Riyadh, the working mode is office-first
• A path to a junior role on the team afterwards. That is our intent and what we aim for, not a guarantee: it depends on how the internship goes
• Three places are open, first, second and third, and each one is this role
• Subject to a separate contract and the required eligibility checks

Dates

• 16 September, entries open
• 30 September, entries close
• 15 October, the final, where you present live. It replaces the interview
