Product Intern – Quality & Feature Validation

United States, Remote

About Sezzle:

Sezzle is a cutting-edge fintech company dedicated to financially empowering the next generation. With only one in three millennials owning a credit card and the majority lacking their desired credit scores, Sezzle addresses these challenges through a payment platform that offers interest-free installment plans at online stores. By increasing consumers' purchasing power, Sezzle drives sales and basket sizes for thousands of eCommerce merchants that it partners with.

About the Role: 

Sezzle is looking for a Product Intern with a strong attention to detail and a curiosity for how things work (and break). In this role, you’ll help validate new product features, flag bugs before they cause headaches, and contribute directly to making our product experience seamless and delightful across platforms.

You’ll work cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and engineers to ensure every release is reliable and user-friendly. If you’re eager to see how product strategy, feature delivery, and quality assurance intersect at a high-growth fintech company—this one’s for you.

What You'll Do:

  • Feature Validation & Quality Assurance: Proactively test new features, enhancements, and integrations across web, mobile, and API platforms; identify bugs, usability issues, and edge cases; document findings with precision; and partner with engineering for swift resolutions.
  • User Research & Insights: Conduct user interviews, surveys, and competitive analysis to uncover pain points, gather feedback, and inform product decisions; analyze user behavior data to validate assumptions and recommend improvements.
  • Product Ideation & Development: Contribute to brainstorming sessions, wireframing, and prototyping using tools like Figma; help translate business requirements into actionable user stories and testing scenarios.
  • Market & Competitive Analysis: Research industry trends, fintech innovations, and competitor offerings; synthesize findings into reports or dashboards to support strategic planning and feature prioritization.
  • Post-Launch Monitoring & Iteration: Perform production validation, monitor key metrics (e.g., adoption rates, error logs), and propose optimizations based on real-time data and user feedback.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Participate in agile ceremonies (sprints, stand-ups, retros); provide input on product roadmaps; and assist in creating documentation, such as user guides or release notes.
  • Special Projects: Tackle ad-hoc initiatives, like A/B testing, accessibility audits, or exploring emerging technologies (e.g., AI-driven personalization), to drive product excellence and innovation.

What We Look For:

  • Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Business, Computer Science, Human-Computer Interaction, Economics, or a related field
  • 3.5 GPA or higher (required for consideration)
  • A genuine interest in product development, user experience, and the “why” behind product decisions
  • Strong attention to detail—you notice when something’s just a little off, and it bugs you until it’s fixed
  • Comfort digging into product experiences and identifying what’s working and what’s not
  • Analytical thinking and basic data skills (Excel/Sheets, with bonus points for SQL curiosity)
  • Effective written and verbal communication—you can explain a bug to a developer and feedback to a PM without playing translator
  • Familiarity with agile methodologies, product tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma, Mixpanel), or prototyping software is advantageous but not required—we value quick learners.
  • Prior experience in internships, projects, or extracurriculars related to product, QA, UX/UI, startups, or tech (e.g., hackathons, app development) is a plus.

Preferred Knowledge and Skills

  • You catch the details others miss – You test the tester. And then test again.
  • You don’t just report problems—you help solve them
  • You want to learn how product actually gets shipped, not just brainstormed
  • You know speed matters – Done is better than perfect, but working is better than broken
  • You’re comfortable asking questions, even if it means uncovering more work
  • You care about the end user, even if you don’t directly talk to them.

Why Intern at Sezzle?

  • Work alongside brilliant product and engineering minds who will help you level up
  • Get hands-on experience in an agile, fast-moving environment where your feedback actually gets implemented.
  • Help shape product experiences for millions of users
  • Be part of a company that genuinely values diverse perspectives and big thinking
  • Leave with tangible experience and a deeper understanding of how great products are built, tested, and launched

About You:

  • You have relentlessly high standards - many people may think your standards are unreasonably high. You are continually raising the bar and driving those around you to deliver great results. You make sure that defects do not get sent down the line and that problems are fixed so they stay fixed.
  • You’re not bound by convention - your success—and much of the fun—lies in developing new ways to do things
  • You need action - speed matters in business. Many decisions and actions are reversible and do not need extensive study. We value calculated risk-taking.
  • You earn trust - you listen attentively, speak candidly, and treat others respectfully.
  • You have backbone; disagree, then commit - you can respectfully challenge decisions when you disagree, even when doing so is uncomfortable or exhausting. You have conviction and are tenacious. You do not compromise for the sake of social cohesion. Once a decision is determined, you commit wholly.
  • You deliver results - you focus on the key inputs and deliver them with the right quality and in a timely fashion. Despite setbacks, you rise to the occasion and never settle.

What Makes Working at Sezzle Awesome:

At Sezzle, we are more than just brilliant engineers, passionate data enthusiasts, out-of-the-box thinkers, and determined innovators. We believe in surrounding ourselves with only the best and the brightest individuals. Our culture is not defined by a certain set of perks designed to give the illusion of the traditional startup culture, but rather, it is the visible example living in every employee that we hire. Sezzle recognizes and values the importance of diversity and inclusion in enriching the employment experience of its employees and in supporting our mission.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
