Product & Design Intern (Tabby Imagine)
Summary
A six-month paid internship at Tabby (fintech) in Riyadh, awarded to winners of the open 'Tabby Imagine' product/design challenge. The intern takes real product problems end to end — user research, Figma design, engineering handoff, and post-launch measurement — paid SAR 3,000/month.
- 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.
Entries open on 16 September and close on 30 September. Register at .
Interns work on real product decisions under senior review.
Product work end to end
- 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
- 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
After launch
- Measure what happened and say plainly whether it worked
- Bring the result back to the team, including when the answer is no
Working across teams
- 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
