Software Engineering Intern - 2027 Graduates

About the role

Rilla engineers architect and ship features across the stack at lightning speed. On a daily basis, you will build end-to-end workflows, take them to production, and solve real world problems across an out-sized scale. As an early technical steward, you will raise the bar for code quality and decision‑making, setting patterns that cement a world‑class engineering culture as we scale. While the company 10×’s, your scope and ownership will grow just as fast—building the tools, mental models, and platforms that let both you and Rilla accelerate exponentially.

Technologies We Use

• Languages and frameworks: React, React Native, TypeScript, Python
• Open-source technologies: Node.js, PostgreSQL, Turborepo, Lodash, Zod
• Industry-standard build tooling: GitHub Actions, Terraform, Spacelift

What We Value

• An infinite learner: Someone who is relentless in their curiosity.
• A customer obsessive: Someone who deeply cares about delighting customers and solving real pains, not vanity metrics.
• A winning attitude: You thrive with extreme accountability, learning as a team, and both giving and receiving rapid feedback.
• Extreme empathy: Our customers are not tech companies. They live and work in the real world. Empathy is critical to arriving at correct solutions.
• Unafraid of failure: You take risks. You see failure as an opportunity to learn, grow, and be better the next time. In a weird way, you trick your brain into being excited when you fail, because it means you got a new opportunity to learn more.

What We Require

• Strong coding skills with demonstrated proficiency in programming languages, such as JavaScript, C++, Python, Rust, or similar languages.
• Strong engineering prowess, ideally developed at start-ups.
• Familiarity with storage and data processing systems, cloud infrastructure, and other technical tools.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills and ability to iterate quickly with teammates, incorporating feedback and holding a high bar for quality.
