About the role

Summer internship focused on building production software for the Sycamore platform, with ownership of a runnable project end to end and exposure to real production environments.

Responsibilities

  • Own a real project end to end, from scoping through implementation, testing, review, and deployment.
  • Write production code that meets the same bar as everyone else’s, and go through the same review.
  • Test your own work, including the paths that are inconvenient to test.
  • Ask for help early when you are stuck, and be specific about what you have already tried.
  • Document what you built well enough that the person who inherits it does not have to reconstruct your reasoning.

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing an undergraduate or graduate degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, or recently graduated.
  • Evidence that you have built and shipped something real: a project with users, a substantial open-source contribution, a previous internship where you owned production code, or something you built because you wanted it to exist.
  • Solid software fundamentals. You can design a data model, write an API, reason about failure, and debug code you did not write.
  • The instinct to test your own work and to try the realistic path rather than the happy path.
  • AI-native. You use coding agents and modern models as a force multiplier while still understanding the code you ship and being able to explain your decisions.
  • Clear communication, including the ability to say when you are stuck.
  • Comfort with ambiguity. The problem you are given will not arrive fully specified.
