Founded by educators and technologists passionate about improving education, Clever is on a mission to unlock new ways to learn for all students. Already used by more than 65% of U.S. K-12 schools, Clever brings all applications into one secure portal and provides single sign-on for everyone. With the leading network of digital learning providers, Clever makes school more engaging, personalized, and fun.
A DAY IN THE LIFE:
As an intern at Clever, you will work alongside full-time engineers, improving existing products and creating apps that live on top of Clever. Our very first intern wrote an iPhone app on the Clever platform that spread to over a thousand schools on the day it was released. Another intern wrote an app that let schools provision Google accounts, which now manages over 2 million student and teacher accounts. You will join an engineering team, participate in team processes and activities, and have a dedicated mentor on your team to help you throughout the course of their time at Clever. Over the summer, you will work on a project (similar to those outlined above) to develop your technical and collaboration skills.
Clever engineers most commonly utilize technologies/tools like MongoDB, AWS, Typescript, React, and Go to develop our products.
This is exclusively a summer 2023 May – August opportunity.
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
- Must be graduating before June 2024. Why is this? Clever only offers internships to college students who will be graduating within 9 months of their internship’s completion because we view internships as a path to a possible full-time offer to start before July 31, 2024. The internship program lets us identify and mentor future engineers, while offering the intern a chance to see what it’s like to be part of the Clever team. At the end of the internship, we hope to be able to build on a great summer by extending our interns an offer to come back and join our team full time!
- Relevant coursework in programming, computer science, or any other relevant field
- Past projects demonstrating strong coding, problem solving and collaboration skills
- A desire to grow as an engineer through collaboration, code reviews, and learning new languages/technologies
- Excellent communication skills during team conversations, technical spec review, code review, and pairing sessions with teammates
- A desire to work in a diverse, highly collaborative team environment

That is why we are committed to building diverse teams, inviting every voice, and creating a safe space for everyone to be their authentic self. By fostering equity and belonging within our circles of influence, we unlock learning for ALL students.
