For HR & Hiring Managers

Benefits of Our Interns

Our internship program prepares students with practical skills that translate directly to productive work. Interns come to you with foundational knowledge and professional habits already in place.

  • Trained in development practices: Interns understand Git workflows, pull request processes, code review etiquette, and collaborative development patterns.
  • Team collaboration skills: They know how to work in teams, communicate effectively in async and distributed environments, and contribute to shared codebases.
  • Developer relations capabilities: Interns can assist with documentation, demos, internal tooling, and small improvements that free up senior engineers for critical work.

How the Internship Works

We provide a structured onboarding process and work plan for each intern. They receive guidance on real projects but are not thrown directly into critical production systems. This approach ensures both safety and learning.

  • Comprehensive onboarding process with clear expectations and documentation
  • Structured work plans that align with your organization's needs
  • Regular check-ins and progress reviews to ensure quality and alignment
  • Gradual responsibility increase as interns demonstrate competence

Why This Is Low-Risk and High-Value

Our internship program is designed to minimize risk while maximizing value for your organization.

  • Prepared candidates: Interns arrive with foundational skills and professional habits, not starting from zero.
  • Well-scoped contributions: They work on small, clearly defined tasks that add value without risking critical systems.
  • Time savings: Interns handle documentation, demos, and incremental improvements that would otherwise consume senior engineer time.
  • Pipeline for hiring: Successful internships can serve as a pipeline for future full-time hires who already understand your codebase and culture.

For Interns

If you're a student or junior developer looking to gain real-world experience, our internship program offers hands-on work with real projects, professional mentorship, and the opportunity to build a strong portfolio.

What You'll Learn

Our internship program focuses on practical, industry-relevant skills that will serve you throughout your career.

  • Git and GitHub workflows: Master branches, pull requests, code review processes, and collaborative version control practices.
  • Real project collaboration: Work on actual, existing codebases—not toy examples—learning how to navigate, understand, and contribute to production systems.
  • Documentation and communication: Develop skills in writing clear documentation, communicating progress, and explaining technical decisions.
  • Team collaboration: Learn professional team skills including standups, async updates, respecting review processes, and working effectively in distributed environments.

How It Works

The internship is structured to provide gradual learning and increasing responsibility.

  • Onboarding phase: Start with reading materials, understanding the codebase, and initial small tasks to get oriented.
  • Gradual progression: Begin with small, well-defined tasks and gradually take on more responsibility as you demonstrate competence.
  • Regular feedback: Receive ongoing feedback and reviews to help you grow and ensure your contributions align with project goals.

What You Get Out of It

Beyond learning technical skills, our internship program provides tangible career benefits.

  • Stronger portfolio: Build a portfolio with real contributions to actual projects, demonstrating your ability to work in professional environments.
  • Remote collaboration experience: Gain experience working with existing codebases and collaborating in remote, distributed teams—skills highly valued in today's job market.
  • Professional references: Build relationships that can lead to strong references and recommendations for future opportunities.
  • Future opportunities: Exceptional performance can lead to continued collaboration, recommendations, or even full-time opportunities.
