Our software engineering internship is a 10-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.
