Our digital solutions impact the lives of millions of Americans, and we are committed to fostering an inclusive and diverse work environment.
About the Role:
At Raft, our goal is to constantly push the limits of technology to deliver innovative solutions that meet the complex demands of our clients. We are currently looking for a highly motivated UX Design Intern to join our team for the upcoming summer.

We bridge the gap between humans and data through radical transparency and our obsession with the mission.
Our Customer Obsession:

Our culture will enable our success and set us apart from other companies.
