## About the role

OpenGov is looking for Product Engineer Interns who are eager to learn what it means to own a product — from customer discovery through delivery. This internship is built around a new kind of role born from AI's ability to handle execution work that once required multiple specialists. What AI cannot do is decide what matters, talk to customers, make the right call in ambiguous situations, or own whether a product succeeds.

## What they're looking for

- Currently pursuing a degree in computer science, information systems, product design, HCI, business, or a closely adjacent field — or equivalent self-directed experience
- Genuine curiosity about customers and why products succeed or fail, you find yourself asking "who is this for and does it actually solve their problem?"
- Strong written communication: you can articulate a product decision clearly enough that an engineer and a designer walk away aligned
- Comfort with ambiguity and speed: you make reasonable decisions with incomplete information rather than waiting for certainty
- Willingness to grow into code fluency using AI-native tooling — you don't need to arrive as a developer, but you must be willing to get there
- Prior exposure to product management, UX design, software development, or customer research is a plus — in any form (coursework, projects, prior internships, side work)
