## About the role

As a Software Engineering Intern, you’ll join our engineering team in Washington, DC and ship real features to real users, not side projects.

One sprint you might help prototype a semantic-search UI backed by vector embeddings. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Working knowledge of SQL and relational database design (e.g., Postgres)
