Software Engineer, Intern (Summer 2020)
Our software engineering internship is a 12-week experience that blends learning with impact. Our interns are embedded directly into our engineering teams, contributing immediately to impactful projects and constantly learning.
You'll influence the initial specs for the feature, build/modify the backend APIs (mostly Rails), write the front-end code that consumes said APIs (mostly React), and be responsible for ongoing improvements once the feature is deployed.
Here’s what you’ll do:
- Own what you build as you architect, test, and refine the Gusto platform
- Tackle a wide variety of technical problems throughout the stack and contribute daily to all parts of our code base, using our development workflow
- Work with our product and design teams to understand customer pain points, come up with solutions, and then prototype, iterate, and launch daily
- Be surrounded by individuals who are doing the best work of their lives and loving every moment of it
Here’s what we’re looking for:
- Students pursuing a BS and/or MS degree in computer science or related technical field with an expected graduation date in December 2020, or later
- Passion for creating memorable experiences for customers
- Interest in technologies such as React, Redux, Ruby, Rails, and GraphQL
- Appreciation for a test-driven, code review culture
- A drive to create well-structured and maintainable code that balances beauty and pragmatism
