Position Overview:

About the Role:

Bigger Pockets is offering a dynamic, remote Software Engineering Internship for the summer of 2025. As an intern, you will primarily support our Software Engineering Department in a dual-track learning and contribution experience. This role is designed to provide you with both meaningful work experience and an opportunity for professional growth in a collaborative, tech-driven environment. You’ll contribute to impactful projects while learning from a diverse set of teams across the company.

Key Responsibilities:

• Home Base Project: You will be assigned a “home base” project, focusing on a non-critical feature that touches various parts of our system. This project could involve building or enhancing functionality like comparing and saving real estate investment opportunities. You’ll work on the project from start to finish, with the goal of shipping a demonstrable feature by the end of the summer. This will give you a tangible accomplishment and showcase your contributions.
• Cross-Team Rotations: In addition to your home base project, you will participate in short rotations with different engineering teams. These rotations will expose you to various aspects of the development process, from planning new projects and implementing A/B tests to tracking feature performance and optimizing workflows. The rotations are designed to provide a comprehensive view of how different teams collaborate and contribute to the company’s overall success.
• Learning and Development: You will work closely with senior engineers and mentors, learning how to effectively navigate the software development lifecycle. The internship will provide you with real-world exposure to industry-standard tools, practices, and methodologies.

About You:

• Strong Interest in Software Engineering: A passion for software development and building scalable, efficient systems. You’re eager to dive into coding and problem-solving within a collaborative team setting.
• Academic Background: Currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, with a strong academic record. You are a rising junior or senior with foundational knowledge in programming and software development.
• Technical Skills: Experience with programming languages such as Python, JavaScript, Java, or similar. Familiarity with front-end or back-end development, version control (Git), and basic software engineering principles is preferred. If you're unfamiliar with certain areas, you’re excited to learn on the job!
• Problem-Solving Mindset: Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities. You’re not afraid to tackle complex challenges and come up with innovative solutions, and you thrive in an environment where learning is continuous.
• Team Player & Strong Communication Skills: You’re a collaborative individual who enjoys working with others to achieve common goals. You communicate clearly, both in writing and verbally, and you’re comfortable asking questions and offering suggestions.
• Growth Mindset: A proactive attitude towards learning and a desire to take ownership of projects. You are adaptable, self-motivated, and ready to make an impact during your internship.

Diversity and Inclusion: As part of Bigger Pockets’ commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive work environment, we strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in the tech industry.
