You’ll be working alongside our incredible engineers, making changes to our live site within a few weeks of your internship (that's right, we release wicked fast!). You’ll be paired with a skilled mentor who will help you develop your skills and make the most of your internship experience.

We use PHP, MySQL, C#, SqlServer, and many other technologies in our stack.
On the Frontend, we work closely with UX designers, product managers, and our backend software engineers to create a highly polished and interactive frontend in React for our enterprise-level web application. Our stack consists of Webpack, Babel, React, and an abstraction of Material UI within our design system.
You will:
- Practice a scrum-like agile development process using CI/CD systems.
- Work with a world-class product development team to integrate your projects into the application.
- Contribute to the ongoing improvement of our systems and processes.
- Come to work, do great things, then go home!
