About the role

One of the largest trends that has happened in the last few decades is how people work. Although remote work has been done for several years in the software world, never has the tooling been built from ground up for software engineers. We are building the engineering productivity supertools for the new world.

We as both engineers and founders strongly believe in the concept of 10x engineers. Moreover, we believe if given enough capabilities and focus, these superpowers can be attained by most engineers. Unlike managers, engineers can significantly improve performance by finding focus, removing distractions and more importantly automating mundane tasks. These are our core principles that we operate with everyday.

We are an early stage YC-backed startup building developer tools for high growth companies. The founders are ex-Googlers with background building engineering teams at several fast-growing silicon valley startups.

Our customers include high growth companies such as Slack, Fast Checkout, Cruise, Square, etc.

We are looking for an intern to join our team to help build and scale our initial products. Our intern will have the same responsibilities and voice as a full-time engineer.

An ideal intern will be self-driven and thrive in a fast paced and unstructured environment.

What you will do

  • Work closely with the users to understand their development needs and use cases to guide our roadmap. Ensure customer needs are supported by broader engineering team through effective prioritization.
  • Build prototypes all the way to final products. Solve complex issues for our users.
  • Collaborate with our team to gather requirements through detailed technical discussions and brainstorming sessions.
  • Explore new product development areas driven by strategic understanding of users landscape.
  • Take ownership and drive initiatives for segments within the product.

Qualifications

  • Owned previous projects - whether it was in your previous internship or projects outside of work.
  • The ability to work in a low-structure environment and is comfortable working with unknowns.
  • Passion for building engineering tools, excited about solving problems for engineers.
  • Strong communication skills.
  • Strong debugging and critical thinking skills.
  • Previous internship experience.
  • Previous experience working with or building internal engineering tools is a plus.
  • Pursuing BS/MS/PhD in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or a related field.

Why you should join MergeQueue
