Product Intern – Paid Internship at Glite Tech, United Kingdom (Remote)

2-3 month contract (Remote, must be UK-based)

We’re a small but ambitious startup on a mission to reinvent language learning through AI. Our flagship product is a mobile app designed to help intermediate and advanced learners improve their English with cutting-edge tech.

We’re looking for a Product Intern to join us on a 2-3 month, paid internship (full-time, remote, UK-based). This is a rare chance to own a product end to end — from a blank page to something real people use — in a fast-paced startup.

You’ll spend the internship designing, building and shipping viral English-learning tests: interactive web experiences that hook a user, deliver a result worth sharing, and pull their friends in. Modern AI tools mean a single sharp person can now take an idea from concept to a working product in days. We want someone who treats that as a superpower.

Please read the job specification carefully prior to applying.

What you’ll do

• Own products end to end. Generate the idea, design the experience, build the MVP, ship it, and watch how real users respond – then iterate.
• Build working web experiences, not just mockups. You’ll prototype fast and get things in front of users quickly.
• Obsess over the share moment. The whole point is virality — the test has to produce something people want to share. You’ll invent both the share artifact and, where it helps, entirely new test formats.
• Use AI tools as leverage. We expect you to move fast by pairing your judgement with AI for code, copy, design and research.
• Learn from live data. Watch how users behave, figure out what drives sharing, kill what doesn’t, double down on what does.
• Work closely with the founding team to pressure-test ideas and refine direction.

Essential skills

• You ship. You’ve built and launched things — side projects, small web apps, tools, games. You can take an idea to a working MVP without waiting for permission or a team.
• Comfortable with code + AI tools. You don’t need to be a senior engineer, but you can build a functional web app (HTML/JS/React or similar) and use AI tools to go faster.
• Strong product instinct. You can tell the difference between a clever idea and a shareable one, and you know why some things spread and most don’t.
• Design sense. You can make something look and feel good enough that people trust it and want to share it — Figma, Claude Design, or straight in code.
• A builder’s bias to action. You’d rather ship something rough and learn than plan something perfect and stall.

Desirable skills

• Experience building viral or social mechanics (anything that got shared, went semi-viral, or grew without ads).
• Familiarity with AI build tools (Claude, Cursor, Codex, etc.) and design tools (Figma, Canva).
• Interest in edtech, language learning, and the psychology of why people share things online.
• An understanding that most experiments won’t work — the goal is to test, learn and scale the winners.
• Design skills
• Experience in game dev or product hacking more broadly

What we offer

• Duration: 2 or 3 months (fixed term)
• Hours: Full-time
• Location: Remote (UK-based)
• Compensation: £12.71 per hour
• Start Date: Flexible

What you’ll gain

• The chance to own real products from idea to launch — rare for an internship
• Hands-on experience shipping and testing live in a real startup
• A portfolio of products you actually built and shipped, with real usage behind them
• Direct mentorship from the founding team
