Our 2023 Summer Engineering Internship Program is designed to provide mission-driven students an opportunity to network and gain hands-on and real-world experience.Throughout the course of 10 weeks, you will work within the Engineering Department with three other Engineering Interns to build upon and improve our internal tooling applications. These applications heavily impact our internal teams, including Production Support and Program Curation. You will work closely with the impacted teams to understand their needs, receive feedback and learn about their day to day workflows.
Our applications are built with Python backend APIs, React or Jinja front-end components and hosted in GCP. Some of our newer tooling utilizes cloud functions or Cloud Run.
