JOB SUMMARY:
We’re looking for a Software Engineering Intern who’s eager to learn, curious, and ready to contribute across the stack. This role starts with a 3-month internship focused on learning our product, supporting the engineering team, and completing real engineering tasks. If successful, it transitions into a full-time Junior Full Stack Engineer role.
You’ll handle a mix of tech support, light engineering tasks, bug fixes, and eventually contribute to larger features as you grow. We’re a small, fast-moving team — so you’ll get exposure to product, backend, frontend, mobile, and internal tooling.
You don’t need to know everything on day one. But you do need to be hungry, a self-starter, and able to figure things out.
ABOUT URBAN LEGEND:
Urban Legend is a tech startup that’s redefining influencer marketing for public affairs and advocacy campaigns. The Urban Legend Exchange is an invite-only platform where advertisers run campaigns that mobilize creators to drive meaningful and measurable actions in support of issues that matter.
WHAT YOU’LL DO:
- Learn the Urban Legend platform inside and out
- Help monitor and respond to internal tech support requests in Slack
- Fix small bugs and contribute to low-risk features early on
- Support engineering with simple backend or frontend tasks
- Write clean, maintainable code under senior guidance
- Participate in code reviews (at a junior level — learning-focused)
- Work with the Product Design Lead to understand feature requirements
- Ask questions, take notes, and gain speed without constant handholding
- Gradually take on more complex work in React, React Native, and Django
WHAT YOU’LL BRING:
Technical Basics (Required)- Solid understanding of JavaScript
- Experience with at least one backend language (Python preferred but not required)
- Basic understanding of APIs, HTTP, and how web apps work
- Git
- Ability to read documentation and troubleshoot independently
- Some experience with a modern frontend or backend framework (React, Django, Node, Flask, Rails, etc.)
- Strong work ethic and desire to improve
- Self-starter, resourceful, and comfortable figuring things out
- Clear communicator — asks good questions, explains blockers
- Not afraid of ambiguity or learning new technologies
- Wants to contribute real value, not just observe
- Genuinely interested in becoming a full-stack engineer
