Why This Job is Featured on The SaaS Jobs
This internship stands out in a SaaS context because it is anchored in shipping on real product surfaces rather than isolated exercises. The work spans both reliability (QA on core authoring flows) and incremental product improvements, which mirrors how SaaS teams sustain a subscription product: tightening core journeys, reducing friction for power users, and iterating based on customer feedback.
For someone building a SaaS engineering career, the role offers exposure to the full loop that matters in product-led environments—identify issues, implement changes across UI and API, validate behavior, and learn how small interaction details compound into retention and usability. Experience with TypeScript/React/Next.js and Node in a production setting is broadly transferable across modern SaaS stacks, and the emphasis on iterative delivery aligns with how many SaaS teams manage roadmap uncertainty.
This role is best suited to an early-career engineer who enjoys hands-on ownership of small features, communicates clearly when documenting problems, and is comfortable switching between debugging, polishing UX-adjacent details, and pairing for guidance. It fits candidates who want practical exposure to how SaaS products are improved continuously through tight feedback cycles.

Job Description
Help us ship features that make learning teams faster. You’ll work on real product surfaces, support QA for core flows, and build small features end‑to‑end with close mentorship.
Why we’re hiring
Demand has grown quickly as we’ve focused on learning teams. With a small engineering group, we have a healthy backlog of features that will level up the authoring experience. We’re looking for an intern who can add velocity and care to the product.
What you’ll do
- QA core features and authoring flows; document issues clearly.
- Build product improvements across UI and API with guidance.
- Polish details that compound for power users (keyboard, paste, selection, layout).
- Pair with engineers on small projects you can own to completion.
- Help us test ideas with customers and ship iterative changes.
About You
- You can build web features with TypeScript, React/Next.js, and Node.
- You care about product quality and details.
- You communicate clearly and close loops.
- You’re comfortable in a lean, fast‑moving environment.
Bonus points
- UI/UX interest and an eye for clean, predictable interactions.
- Early‑stage startup projects or side work.
Our stack
Frontend: Next.js/React, TypeScript, Tailwind, Radix/shadcn/ui, Zustand, React Query
Backend: Node.js, WebSockets, MySQL/Prisma, GCP/Cloud Run
(We also use Python for document processing.)
How we work
Small team, fast cycles. Specs aren’t always perfect before we build. We value ownership, craft, and shipping—then iterating with customers. We’re mostly remote and meet in person twice a week for focus and collaboration.
Compensation & perks
- $20–$30/hr DOE
- Potential path to a full‑time SWE role
- Weekly team lunch; stocked snacks & drinks
- A supportive team and meaningful work
