Interning at Super.com is an exciting chance to dive into the world of tech and startups, work on real projects, and learn a ton along the way. From day one, interns are fully part of the team - contributing to work that actually ships and gets used. It’s a fast-moving yet super supportive environment where you’re encouraged to ask questions, try new things, and grow through hands-on experience. Many interns say it’s the most they’ve learned in such a short time! Even though we’re remote, the culture is fun, collaborative, and well-connected- you’ll be included in team meetings, Slack chats, and social events, so you’ll never feel like you’re doing this alone.

About this role

We are looking to hire a Software Engineer In Data intern to join our growing Data team.

• You have at least 8 months of backend development work experience, preferably with exposure to a dynamic, startup or scaleup environment.
