With the leading network of digital learning providers, Clever makes school more engaging, personalized, and fun.

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.

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!

  • 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

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.
