This internship is for-credit only, with potential to be promoted into a paid hourly contractor role that may continue through the school year (two of our part-time contractors have followed this path; others have gone on to great companies like TikTok, Uber, OpenDoor, Chipotle, Oracle). Expected commitment is 20-30 hours per week, depending on your availability and project load that we will align on at the beginning of the summer. Our team has a strong culture of mentorship and career development, and we will be committed to your personal and professional development beyond your day-to-day job.
We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may come from a less traditional background. We encourage you to apply, even if you don't believe you meet every one of our qualifications described.
