SDR Intern

Our mission is to automate coding. The first step in our journey is to build the best tool for professional programmers, using a combination of inventive research, design, and engineering. Our organization is very flat, and our team is small and talent dense. We particularly like people who are truth-seeking, passionate, and creative. We enjoy spirited debate, crazy ideas, and shipping code.About The InternshipThis is a 10-week summer internship (June 8 through August 14) designed for students entering the summer before they graduate.
