Job Description

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.

Qualifications

Required Qualifications

  • Proficiency in C++ and/or Python.
  • Strong CS fundamentals, such as algorithms, data structures, concurrency, and system design.
  • Collaborative team member who thrives in fast-paced, multidisciplinary environments and is eager to learn.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Exposure to distributed systems, observability tooling, or infrastructure as code.
  • Experience with Python ecosystems for data pipelines, automation, or backend services.
