## About the role

We are hiring a Software Engineering Intern to join the Beacon HQ engineering team for the Fall 2026 co-op term. You will work directly with our senior engineers on the platforms that power how we operate the portfolio: data ingestion across 25+ portcos, internal tools used by our operating team every day, and AI-powered workflows that we are embedding into both Beacon HQ and the portfolio products themselves.

## What they're looking for

- Currently enrolled in a Software Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or related undergrad or graduate program
- Comfortable writing production-quality code in at least one of TypeScript, Python, or Go. You do not need to know all three, but you should be able to pick up a new language quickly
- Comfortable working in someone else's codebase. You can read code as well as you write it
- Curious about data systems, APIs, and the practical mechanics of LLM-driven applications. Prior exposure is a plus but not required
- Strong written communicator. Beacon runs on writing, and interns are expected to write design docs, PR descriptions, and updates that hold up to senior review
- Operator instincts. You take the time to understand the problem before reaching for a solution
