About the role

You'll work alongside experienced engineers, contribute production code, and have meaningful ownership from design through deployment. Your project will be scoped appropriately for an internship, but the expectations for quality, testing, and reliability are the same as for the rest of our engineering team.

  • Experience using AI coding tools and an understanding of the code you're building
  • Clear communication and a willingness to ask questions and learn from others
  • Comfort working through open-ended problems in a fast-moving environment
