Software Engineer, Thrive Intern
for sections like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. Do NOT repeat job title as heading. Do NOT put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings. Preserve ALL substantive information; do NOT invent or summarize away detail. Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. IMPORTANT: include a section ONLY when the posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text (e.g. "commensurate with experience", "not specified", "N/A", "varies", "TBD") and never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them. Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones.
We need to parse the posting.

- Catered in-house lunches and breakfast
- Company-wide Hackathon
- PTO and company holidays
- Frequent company-wide dinners, monthly celebrations, social clubs, and so much more!
- Connect with your recruiter on the benefits for interns at Duolingo!
- "Hourly Range For This Internship Is $47—$49 USD"
- "Benefits: Take a peek at how we care for our employees' holistic well-being with our benefits here."
- Job Alerts, Accommodations, EEO, Fraud Warning, etc. Those are boilerplate to remove.
We need to decide sections.
We have:
- About the role: maybe the mission statement and description of role? Could be "About the role" includes the mission and description of what you'll do? Actually "You will..." is responsibilities. "You have..." is requirements/qualifications. "Exceptional candidates will have..." could be "Preferred qualifications" or "Preferred skills". "Why you'll love working here..." is benefits/perks. Also we have hourly range (Pay). Benefits section: they mention benefits but just a link; not specific benefits listed. The posting says "Benefits: Take a peek at how we care for our employees' holistic well-being with our benefits here." That's not specific benefit details; it's a generic pointer. According to rule: never create Benefits section unless posting actually states them. It does mention benefits but not specifics; it's just a link. Should we include Benefits? The rule: "never create Pay/Schedule/Benefits sections unless the posting actually states them." It states "Benefits: Take a peek at how we care for our employees' holistic well-being with our benefits here." That's a statement about benefits existing, but not enumerated. Is that enough? Likely not; they want actual benefit details. So we should not create a Benefits section unless they list specific benefits. They do list some perks under "Why you'll love working here..." which includes language learning opportunities, catered lunches, etc. Those are benefits/perks. So we could treat that as Benefits section. But they already have a heading "Why you'll love working here..." which is basically benefits/perks. We could map that to Benefits section. However the instruction says use headings like About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule. So we need to map content to those headings.
We have:
- About the role: maybe the mission statement and overview: "Our mission at Duolingo..." and "You'll join a team..." etc. That seems appropriate.
- Responsibilities: the "You will..." list.
- Requirements / Qualifications: the "You have..." list (mandatory). Could split into Requirements (hard) and Qualifications (preferred). But we have also "Exceptional candidates will have..." which could be Qualifications or Skills. We could treat "Exceptional candidates will have..." as "Preferred Qualifications" or "Skills". Since we have a Skills heading, we could put GPA and Duolingo streak there.
- Benefits: The "Why you'll love working here..." list (perks). Also maybe the benefits link but we ignore.
- Pay: Hourly range $47—$49 USD.
- Schedule: The 10-week consecutive availability dates (June 14, 2027 - Aug 20th, 2027). Also maybe mention relocation to Pittsburgh, PA? That's not schedule. Could be part of Requirements. But schedule section: we have the availability.
We also have deadline to apply: September 30, 2026. That's application instruction; we should remove application instructions per rule: "Remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions." So deadline to apply is application instruction; remove.
Also "Ability to relocate to Pittsburgh, PA" is a requirement; keep.
"Completion of at least two college-level computer science courses (please upload your official or unofficial transcript)." That's a requirement; keep.
"Second-year undergraduate student currently pursuing a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or a related technical field." Requirement.
"Graduating in December 2028 - August 2029" Requirement.
"Programming experience in one or more of the following languages: Java, Python, Kotlin or Swift." Requirement.
"Dedication to our mission of accessible education" Requirement.
Now "Exceptional candidates will have...": GPA 3.5+, Duolingo streak. Could be Skills or Preferred Qualifications.
Now "Why you'll love working here...": list of perks.
Now "Hourly Range For This Internship Is $47—$49 USD": Pay.
Now "Benefits: Take a peek at how we care for our employees' holistic well-being with our benefits here." Not specific; we could ignore Benefits section because no specific benefits listed. However we have perks that could be considered benefits. But we already have a Benefits heading; we could put the perks there. But the instruction says "Prefer a few substantive sections over many thin ones." So we could combine Benefits and Why you'll love working here into Benefits section.
But we also have a separate "Why you'll love working here..." heading in the original; we could map that to Benefits.
Thus final sections:
- About the role (mission and overview)
- Responsibilities (You will...)
- Requirements (You have... mandatory)
- Skills (Exceptional candidates will have...)
- Benefits (Why you'll love working here...)
- Pay (Hourly range)
- Schedule (10-week consecutive availability)
We need to ensure we don't create sections with filler. All have content.
Now format: Use
for each section heading. Use - for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Use
for prose.
Thus:
