Bookbub Software Engineering Intern
Hack.Diversity, Inc., United States

You’ll join us for a full-time, competitively paid internship for the summer of 2024. You’ll work with a small team of engineers to implement real features used by our readers, authors, and publishers, and you’ll take on big challenges and collaborate across the company to ship complete, end-to-end solutions. (We think it’s important to have the best tools to be productive, so you’ll have your choice of laptop, monitor, and other equipment provided by us to set up your workspace.) Our engineering team is organized into small cross-functional teams that are deeply focused on one product or initiative. Teams are empowered to make product and technology decisions and quickly build the best solutions for our readers, publishers, and authors. We lean heavily on automation, good test coverage, and continuous deployment to ensure we’re constantly getting rapid feedback from our users, and we follow the approach of starting small, shipping often, and deferring unnecessary complexity. We believe that we build better products when our teammates have a variety of perspectives and experiences, so we care a lot about creating a diverse, supportive, and inclusive environment.

Our internship program is intended to help you learn and grow. Our goal is that you end the internship feeling prepared to write code independently in a production environment. We recognize that not everyone who might be a great intern is at that goal right now, and we’re excited to work with you on that journey and help you develop the skills and confidence needed to take on a full time software engineering role at any company.
