About the role

About this Internship

We’re looking for a highly motivated full-stack engineering intern excited to work across the stack and contribute to building novel AI-powered product experiences. While your initial projects may lean toward the frontend, you’ll also gain exposure to backend development, helping us shape cutting-edge, conversationally driven language-learning products.

This internship is designed for students or recent graduates who want to learn quickly, make a tangible impact, and work alongside a high-performing product, design, and machine learning team.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Building innovative AI-driven product experiences and user interfaces on the web
  • Contributing to the end-to-end development cycle of features, from idea to release
  • Writing code quickly, shipping frequently, and seeing the real-world impact of your work
  • Collaborating with a multidisciplinary team on product, design, and ML-driven projects

What We’re Looking For

  • Strong experience (through coursework, personal projects, or internships) building applications
  • Excitement about learning both frontend and backend development in a fast-paced environment
  • A balance of craftsmanship and scrappiness—you care about doing things the right way but can also move fast when needed
  • Strong communication skills and a desire to collaborate across functions
  • Strong foundation in computer science and software engineering (experience with React, Node, TypeScript, and/or Python is a plus).
