A group of growing technology startups is seeking Software Development Interns to support the design, development, testing, and improvement of real products used by customers and internal teams. Interns will be matched with a startup based on their technical interests, experience, and the company’s current development needs.

This is a hands-on opportunity to work alongside founders and technical teams in a fast-moving startup environment. Interns will contribute to meaningful projects while learning how technology products are built, shipped, tested, and improved based on real user needs.

What You’ll Do

Responsibilities may vary by startup placement, but could include:

• Support the development of new product features, internal tools, or customer-facing applications.

• Write, test, debug, and maintain clean, reliable code.

• Assist with front-end, back-end, full-stack, mobile, data, or automation projects depending on company needs.

• Collaborate with technical and non-technical team members to understand product requirements and user needs.

• Help identify and resolve bugs, performance issues, or usability improvements.

• Participate in code reviews, technical planning, and product development discussions.

• Contribute to technical documentation, testing processes, and development workflows.

• Work with APIs, databases, cloud tools, or third-party integrations as applicable.

• Support quality assurance and user testing efforts before new features are released.

• Complete special development projects that directly contribute to the company’s product roadmap.

What We’re Looking For
