The posting

Overview

Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. (SPA) delivers high-impact technical solutions to complex national security issues. With over 50 years of business expertise and consistent growth, we are known for continuous innovation for our government customers, in both the U.S. and abroad. Our exceptionally talented team is highly collaborative in spirit and practice, producing Results that Matter. Come work with the best! We offer opportunities, unique challenges, and clear-sighted commitment to the mission. SPA: Objective. Responsive. Trusted.

Veracity Forecasting Portfolio (VF) is part of the Sea, Land, Air Division within Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc. We are a fast‑moving, curiosity‑powered team building intuitive, insight‑driven products that help users make sense of complex information. We thrive on teamwork, honest conversations, shared problem‑solving, and designing experiences that feel effortless even when the underlying systems aren’t.

We are seeking a motivated UI/UX Developer Intern who also has a flare for frontend design. Our work style is highly matrixed, so you’ll partner with developers, analysts, researchers, product owners, and fellow designers across multiple projects and disciplines. And we think that’s where the magic happens.

Timeline for intern selection:

  • Applications can be submitted and will be reviewed until 13 November 2026.
  • Interviews will begin on 26 October and will conclude on 18 December 2026.
  • Offers/decisions will be extended starting 18 November.

Responsibilities

What You’ll Do

  • Shape end‑to‑end user experiences—from early concepts and wireframes to polished interfaces and design systems that scale.
  • Collaborate directly with cross‑functional teammates to simplify workflows, improve clarity, and ensure our UI supports meaningful decision‑making (inspired by our real‑world conversations about improving usability and clarity).
  • Turn user insights into thoughtful design recommendations and advocate for delightful, accessible interactions.
  • Participate in regular UI/UX syncs to share progress, brainstorm solutions, and help shape the year‑ahead roadmap for the team.
  • Iterate quickly—sketch, prototype, test, refine—always keeping the user at the center.
  • Partner with engineering teams to ensure designs are implemented cleanly and consistently.

In this role,

  • You’ll never design in a vacuum. Collaboration is our default mode, not an afterthought.
  • Ideas come from everywhere. Whether an engineer drafts a wireframe or a PM raises a UX hurdle, we incorporate diverse voices into the design process.
  • Matrixed teamwork is our superpower. You’ll build relationships across Veracity and beyond, working with teams who depend on your clarity and creativity to make complex tools feel intuitive.
  • We embrace experimentation. Not every idea works—and that’s half the fun. We test, learn, and adjust together.
  • You’ll see your work ship. Your designs won’t live in a drawer. They’ll move quickly into prototypes, products, and user hands.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • Degree candidate in Software Development or other appropriate discipline
  • Experience in UX, UI, product design/development, or a related field with a strong portfolio of digital work.
  • Familiarity with modern design tools (Figma, Sketch, or similar) and comfort collaborating closely with developers and analysts.
  • Curiosity, a willingness to ask questions, and the confidence to challenge assumptions constructively.
  • The ability to work fluidly in a matrixed environment, balancing multiple inputs, priorities, and stakeholders without losing sight of the user.
  • Clear communication skills and a collaborative mindset.
  • US citizen with the ability to obtain/maintain a security clearance

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience designing for data‑rich or analytical tools.
  • Interest in human‑centered design for decision support or complex workflows.
  • Ability to translate conceptual or ambiguous ideas into structured visual solutions.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
