Web Development Intern

FULL-STACK WEB DEVELOPMENT INTERN POSITION: We are seeking a candidate with a unique blend of technical skill and creativity to thrive in our fast-paced environment.

You'll design, build, and modify real, production websites used by real customers every day.

FULL-STACK WEB DEVELOPMENT INTERN — RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and modify responsive front-end features and pages as specified by the design team
• Design and implement APIs, and integrate third-party services (payments, booking, email marketing, and more) across our products
• Develop and maintain dynamic, interactive web applications across the full stack
• Update and ship requested changes to live sites, including pages, content, and images
• Test, debug, and continuously improve the design, performance, and functionality of our sites
• Write clear documentation for the features and systems you build
• Collaborate with designers and owners to turn ideas into working products
• Help maintain quality and consistency across all our web properties
• Build and integrate AI-powered features using large language model APIs (e.g. retrieval-augmented generation / RAG, smart search, automation)
