Role Overview

As a Product Intern, you'll get hands‑on ownership of a real feature or research problem on a platform team, working closely with a PM mentor to translate it from idea to shipped (or demoed) outcome. This internship pushes you beyond typical intern scope: you'll scope your own problem, make trade‑off calls, and build the technical and communication fluency early‑career PMs need, with mentorship and guardrails from senior platform PMs.

This role is based out of our Mountain View, CA office, and requires full‑time in‑office attendance.

Responsibilities

• Feature Ownership: Take a defined problem area and turn it into a scoped proposal, prototype, or shipped feature, with mentorship from your PM lead.
• Roadmap Support: Break roadmap priorities down into concrete requirements; track and report on execution against them.
• Cross‑Functional Partnership: Work directly with engineering, design, and data partners to see how product decisions get made and translated into shipped work.
• AI‑Native Building: Use modern AI coding tools to prototype, validate, or extend your own functional project, and bring that fluency into your internship work.
• Communication: Present your work, findings, and trade‑offs to the team, the core skill of professional product management.

Qualifications

• Graduating in 2028 or beyond.
• Pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (or equivalent experience).
• Demonstrated hands‑on experience with modern AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or similar) through an active personal project.
• Present a personal AI project you are currently developing that is functional and executable (i.e., it runs successfully).
• The project should reflect sustained effort over time.
• Showcase meaningful functionality, while it does not need to be fully polished, it should solve a real problem or perform a clearly defined task.
• Basic familiarity with APIs and data concepts, with eagerness to build technical fluency quickly.
• Strong communicator, comfortable presenting work and taking feedback from a team.
• Self‑directed: comfortable scoping and driving your own work with guidance rather than exhaustive specification.

What We Offer

• Intern Schedule: 12 weeks, 40 hours per week, onsite
• Competitive Compensation: $55/h-$65/h base hourly rate
• Start dates for this internship are May & June of 2027
• ID.me may provide a housing stipend payment to eligible students selected for the 2027 Intern Program.

What You'll Gain

• Direct mentorship from an experienced product team
• Practical experience across product, engineering, design, and data
• Meaningful work that can strengthen a future career in product management, consulting, or entrepreneurship
• Opportunities to build a professional network within Silicon Valley's startup and business community
