We're hiring Full Stack Software Engineering Interns. The internship begins in January, May, or June, with a preferred commitment of 4 to 8 months. You'll build PrimerOS, the operating system that runs our schools, shipping features that teachers, students, and families rely on every day.
Primer's goal is simple: fix K–12 education in America. We build schools from the ground up and run them on a single operating system nobody's built before. That means the work is broad by nature. Our engineering projects span frontend, backend, systems, hardware, and more. As a startup, we give interns real ownership and mission-critical work, with a small, high-performing team around you for mentorship and support.
What you'd do
- Work with TypeScript, Node, GraphQL, Prisma, Postgres, Next, React, and Relay. We invest heavily in our DevEx and agent stack.
- Tackle meaningful projects with direct impact. You'll build features used daily by teachers, students, and families, solving real problems in education.
- Work daily with team members from engineering, product, design, and academic program teams.
- Contribute to a culture of excellence through code reviews and a high bar for quality.
What they want
- You have a real passion for fixing the US education system. You're energized by the chance to redesign the school experience from the ground up.
- The unknowns fuel you. You love rolling up your sleeves and figuring out what needs to happen.
- You have a strong grasp of engineering fundamentals and know how to apply them.
- You take pride in your craft. Every detail matters, and you care about building exceptional software.
