Snapchat Product Design Program

The Product Design team at Snap is a small but influential team that steers the future of the core Snapchat application. Our Designers work closely with the CEO and various cross functional leaders to create a design led roadmap to build products and experiences that bring our community together in new and special ways.
What is the Snapchat Design Program?
The Snapchat Design Program is an immersive, paid program, over a 4-week employment period.
Instead of leaning on traditional interview methods like take home tests, Snapchat's Design Program allows us to work with external designers in a practical setting, and assess their design skills, creativity and collaboration abilities, all while being compensated over a 4-week fixed-term.
