Job description

Please note that this position is based on our campus in Madison, WI, and requires relocation to the area. We recruit nationally and provide financial relocation assistance.

Spend your summer designing applications that will shape the future of healthcare. As a User Experience Design Intern at Epic, you’ll collaborate with fellow interns and full-time designers and developers in creating user-centered applications for the web, desktop, or mobile devices. You’ll be mentored by UXD professionals and take ownership of challenging, meaningful projects from day one. You’ll gain an understanding of your user’s needs and play a critical role in constructing how they interact with our newest applications.

We'll give you a lot to do, and we'll expect you to deliver something great.

The software we create directly improves the way millions of Americans receive healthcare - in fact, it's likely that you’ll be affecting the life of someone close to you. You'll need to take your work seriously, but that doesn't mean you have to take yourself too seriously (having fun is part of our mission). You'll find a rare combination of intellectually demanding and interesting projects that contribute to the greater good, allowing you to find true fulfillment in what you do.

Live affordably in a city known for its rising tech talent.

Epic is located just outside Madison, Wisconsin, the second fastest growing market for tech talent in the United States and home to the state capital and the University of Wisconsin. Madison, a city surrounded by water, has received accolades for being the greenest city in America (NerdWallet), the best city for renters (SmartAsset), the fittest city in America (Fitbit), and the third best metro in the US for young professionals (Forbes Advisor).

More than just important work

Our uniquely themed campus was designed to heighten your ability to get stuff done in your office, a conference room, or by the fireplace in a comfy chair. All meals are restaurant-quality but cost only a few dollars, and they’re prepared by a team comprised of kitchen talent from restaurants around the country. And, after five years here, you’ll earn a four-week sabbatical anywhere in the world. Staff have kayaked in Patagonia, attended a Beyoncé concert in Ireland, built a library in Tanzania, and run a marathon in Antarctica.

Healthcare is global, and building the best ideas from around the world into Epic software is a point of pride. As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we know that inclusive teams design software that supports the delivery of quality care for all patients, so diversity, equity, and inclusion are written into our principles.
