Software Engineering Intern — Summer 2026

San Francisco (Hybrid) · Remote OKInternship$35–55/hr10 weeks, June 1 – August 10, 2026

About the role

Arcline builds AI-powered data tools that help K-12 school districts turn fragmented student data into clear, actionable decisions. We work with superintendents and district leaders across Alabama, California, Kentucky, Texas, Wisconsin, and more — replacing months of manual reporting with instant, AI-driven answers.

We're a small, AI-native team that ships fast and builds with real users. Our interns ship real features to real classrooms.

We're hiring interns across several engineering tracks for Summer 2026. If one of these fits you — or if you'd add value somewhere we haven't listed — we want to hear from you.

Available tracks

  • Fullstack Engineering — Build features across the Arcline platform, from our AI chat interface to the dashboards educators use daily. You're comfortable moving between frontend and backend and want to learn fast.
  • Frontend Engineering — Own the interfaces thousands of educators interact with — dashboards, data visualizations, student profiles. You care about clean design and have experience with React or similar frameworks.
  • Backend Engineering — Work on data pipelines, API endpoints, and the integrations that connect school systems like PowerSchool and iReady into one platform. You'll touch ETL orchestration (dagster), event-driven ingestion, and database performance tuning. Comfortable with Python, SQL, and thinking about data at scale.
  • AI / Prompt Engineering — Improve how Arcline interprets natural language questions from educators and turns them into accurate data queries. You're curious about LLMs, have strong writing instincts, and have tinkered with AI APIs.
  • AI Automation — Build internal tools and workflows that make the team faster — automating data ingestion, scraping, onboarding pipelines, and repetitive processes. You like making things more efficient and aren't afraid to hack something together.

Requirements

  • Currently pursuing a B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Data Science, Engineering, or a related field
  • Familiarity with at least one of: Python, JavaScript, TypeScript, or SQL
  • A builder mentality — side projects, hackathons, or coursework that shows you like making things
  • Able to commit to a 10-week internship from June 1 to August 10, 2026. Based in San Francisco with remote positions also available. Relocation assistance provided for on-site roles

Bonus qualifications

  • Experience with React, FastAPI, Postgres, or LLM APIs
  • Projects involving data pipelines, prompt engineering, or automation
  • Familiarity with Git and collaborative development workflows
  • Interest in education, public sector tech, or AI applied to real-world problems
  • AI-native development habits — you use tools like Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or Codex to ship faster and aren't afraid to let AI write the first draft

Compensation

Hourly rate ranges from $35–55/hr. Compensation varies based on role track and experience level.
