Software Epngineer Internship

Who you are

  • Pursuing a bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, engineering, or another related field. Must graduate before Summer 2027

  • Previous internship experience

  • Working towards a proficiency of one or more programming languages such as Typescript, Node.js, or Python

  • You find large challenges exciting and enjoy discovering problems as much as solving them

  • You are able to problem-solve and adapt to changing priorities in a fast-paced, dynamic environment

  • This internship will take place from September 14 - December 4 (based on your fall schedule) and you will need to be able to work out of our SF office during this time

  • AI enthusiast: You have built or prototyped features with AI technologies (LLMs, Embeddings, ML) and are interested in learning more

  • Thoughtful problem-solving: For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can decompose tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck

  • Put users first: You think critically about the implications of what you're building, and how it shapes real people's lives. You understand that reach comes with responsibility for our impact—good and bad

  • Not ideological about technology: To you, technologies and programming languages are about tradeoffs. You may be opinionated, but you're not ideological and can learn new technologies as you go

  • Empathetic communication: You communicate nuanced ideas clearly, whether you're explaining technical decisions in writing or brainstorming in real time. In disagreements, you engage thoughtfully with other perspectives and compromise when needed

  • Team player: For you, work isn't a solo endeavor. You enjoy collaborating cross-functionally to accomplish shared goals, and you care about learning, growing, and helping others to do the same

  • You have expertise with specific technologies that are part of our stack, including Typescript, React, Python

  • You've heard of computing pioneers like Ada Lovelace, Douglas Engelbart, Alan Kay, and others—and understand why we're big fans of their work

  • You have interests outside of technology, such as in art, history, or social sciences

  • If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t align perfectly with every bullet point listed in the job description, we still encourage you to apply
