Job Description

Imagine Monday morning’s standup meeting: you’re just about to push your newly designed UI component to production. By this afternoon, hundreds of users from the most innovative startups to some of the world’s biggest names will be interacting with YOUR code. This summer, become an integral part of Dwolla’s Dashboard team and make a real difference!

Dwolla is a leading fintech company that provides businesses with secure, scalable and seamless ways to move money. Our A2A infrastructure, developer-first APIs, and embedded compliance make us the go-to solution for companies looking to streamline their payment systems. Dwolla moves over $62 billion a year and serves around 2 billion API requests per year.

As a Dwolla Software Engineer Intern you will be embedded directly in a dynamic and high-performing engineering team. You will work with senior engineers, a UX designer, and other interns to modernize Dwolla’s Dashboard used by hundreds of Dwolla clients. Our intention is for you to ship real code to production and, in the process, gain the professional software engineering experience you need to be successful after you graduate. And we hope you have some fun along the way too!

• Ship your code by deploying to production using CI/CD pipelines - sometimes multiple times a day
• Participate in code reviews, story refinement, sprint planning, and demos
• Deliver high-quality code that meets Dwolla standards and best practices
• Actively own your code and Dwolla systems by fixing bugs and refactoring code
• Optionally, read, understand and develop back-end functionality using Scala
