Your Role

As a Software Engineer Intern, you will be shown how to build Zip’s core products and architecture. You will ship features that will be immediately used by our users and will work with a tight-knit team that values open communication and cross-functional collaboration. We move quickly to solve a wide range of complex technical and product challenges. While we are an experienced team that can provide constant guidance and mentorship, we value engineers who can scope and solve difficult technical challenges.

  • Internal AI bot: a bot that uses generative AI to aggregate info from various sources (e.g. google doc, notion, Slack, Zip help site) and generate answers - it’s now actively used by both engineering and customer teams at Zip

  • Devbox: building a prototype that bootstraps the development environment in AWS cloud for all zip engineers - this project is now being used by 80+ engineers

  • Virtual Card Auto Lock: a feature that automatically locks virtual cards based on various policies, such as after a certain expiration date, when reported lost, or in the event of an overdraft. This feature, along with a self-serve onboarding tool, is now live in our virtual card product

You Will

  • Design and build highly reliable and resilient products and features

  • Work closely with cross-functional product and customer-facing teams to understand requirements and ship thoughtful solutions

  • Write high-quality, extensible, and maintainable code

  • Design and build scalable frontend applications and components

  • Design and build APIs to drive existing and new features for a web-based application

Qualifications

  • Pursuing a BS or MS in Computer Science or a related technical field involving coding (e.g. physics or math), with an expected graduation date between December 2027 - June 2028

  • Experience with web applications and API development. At Zip, our stack includes Python, Javascript/TypeScript, React, and GraphQL

  • Ability and interest to quickly learn new frameworks, architecture patterns, and programming languages as needed

  • Fantastic written and verbal communication skills

  • Prior internship in a high-growth startup environment

Our internships are full-time and hybrid, based in our San Francisco HQ office. Our Summer 2027 internship runs either May–August or June–September.

The estimated hourly pay range for this role is $56 - 60 per hour.
