As a General Matter Software Engineering Intern, you will help develop performant, safe, and high-quality software. Your work will support code where reliability, performance, and safety are of utmost importance. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, software engineers, chemical engineers, manufacturing engineers, nuclear engineers, materials scientists, and physicists. If you seek high-impact work and are excited by fast-paced, intense, Skunkworks-style projects, we encourage you to reach out to join our team.

We're hiring interns across three focus areas:

Backend interns will help build high-performance services and APIs that coordinate control systems, manage state across distributed hardware, and expose interfaces for monitoring and operations.

Distributed systems interns will support the development of fault-tolerant coordination systems, real-time data pipelines processing high-throughput sensor telemetry, and the infrastructure that keeps critical systems running reliably at scale.

Tooling interns will help build the developer platforms, CI/CD systems, observability tools, and deployment infrastructure that let our team iterate rapidly and safely in a production environment where mistakes have physical consequences.

Assist in designing and implementing high-performance software systems in C++ and Python, with a focus on reliability and maintainability.

Support the architecture of solutions, contributing to decisions around system design, performance trade-offs, and technology selection.

Participate in technical design reviews and code reviews, learning and helping uphold engineering best practices across the team.

Help build and maintain automated testing and CI/CD pipelines to support software quality at scale.

Work closely with senior engineers, contributing to progress on complex, ambiguous technical problems.
