Software Engineering Intern (Summer 2024 Term)

Accountability Counsel
San Francisco, CA, United States
Full-time
We are sorry. The job offer you are looking for is no longer available.

Software Engineering Interns will work within our Research program to contribute to ongoing tech projects that promote accountability, transparency, and accessibility for communities facing harm.

The position offers interns the opportunity to learn how a small nonprofit organization can use technology to promote meaningful change.

Responsibilities include designing, prototyping, developing, and scaling various tools and web applications used by staff and community partners around the world, with a particular focus on our complaints database, the Accountability Console.

Candidates should be able to demonstrate strong analytical thinking skills, an interest in exploring new technological frontiers, and a willingness to ask difficult questions about potential harm and unanticipated consequences of technology.

Students from any discipline are welcome to apply, but some familiarity with algorithms, data structures, and object-oriented programming is required.

Familiarity with other parts of our technology stack are also appreciated : SQL, Django, HTML / CSS, Heroku, ElasticSearch, and a number of APIs.

Spring and Fall positions are unpaid volunteer positions, but we will be happy to work with your institution to arrange academic credit.

For Summer positions, we ask that applicants make diligent efforts to secure funding from their schools or other external sources.

If you are not able to obtain such funding, stipends may be available to cover costs of living, so we encourage all to apply.
