Meet Your Future Neighbors
As an Engineering Intern at Nextdoor, you’ll join a focused team of developers, product managers, and designers who are passionate about using technology to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighbor they can rely on. We are a small team of engineers that wear multiple hats and work across different languages and services to deliver value to our members. We care about moving fast and delivering impact, without compromising on quality and reliability. You will have the opportunity to learn from your co-workers and teach them. As a team, we will make each other better and build great software.
At Nextdoor, we offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment experience, providing a flexible experience for our valued employees.
The Impact You’ll Make
We empower our teams to own all aspects of bringing Nextdoor to life. As such, you’ll get the opportunity to make key contributions across our engineering stack and solve real world problems with our engineering teams. Our interns dive in quickly, pushing code to production in their first 1-2 weeks.
In addition to writing code, you’ll have the opportunity to help define the features that we build through internal collaboration and incorporating customer feedback. You’ll also work with product managers and designers to ensure products are easily usable, benefit our customers, and align with the Nextdoor platform experience. We believe engineers have a stake in all aspects of product development — from conception, to planning and roadmap building, shipping, and measuring performance that informs future iterations of those services.
You’ll own a project and work as a part of our engineering team to implement full features from ideation through launch. In addition to working directly with your engineering team and manager, you’ll be paired with a mentor who is aligned with your skillset (Mobile - Android or iOS; Web front-end; Python/Go backend infrastructure, etc.) to make sure you learn and contribute as much as possible during your time with us.
Our paid internships are typically 12 weeks, based out of our office in San Francisco or New York City.
Your responsibilities will include:
What You’ll Bring to the Team
At Nextdoor, we empower our employees to build stronger local communities. To create a platform where all feel welcome, we want our workforce to reflect the diversity of the customers we seek to serve. We encourage everyone interested in our purpose to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, or any other trait that unfairly targets a group of people. In accordance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we always consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.
