## About the role

As a Software Engineer Intern at EffiGov, you’ll work directly with the founders and engineering team to build and ship production software used by local governments across the country. You’ll ship features, solve real customer problems, work across the stack, and take ownership of projects that make it into production. You’ll learn to balance scrappiness with good engineering judgment—we do things manually or hardcode them at least twice before building an abstraction for the third time.

## What they're looking for

- Currently pursuing a degree in computer science, engineering, math, statistics, physics, or another quantitative field, or equivalent demonstrated technical ability
- Strong programming fundamentals and the ability to independently build software
- Experience building full-stack applications or backend systems
- Experience with at least some of: Python, TypeScript, React/Next.js, APIs, cloud infrastructure, or Docker
- Demonstrated initiative and “love of the game”—for example, projects with real users, internships, hackathon wins, research, open-source contributions, or products you built because you wanted them to exist
- Ability to move quickly through unfamiliar technical problems
