Software Engineering Intern (summer 2026)

Fizz Internship

Fizz is the dominant social platform for Gen-Z to connect with their immediate communities. Each Fizz community has a private and moderated feed of anonymous posts, authored by verified students at their school, providing the most entertaining, relatable, and interesting conversations about student life.

Students can post questions, memes, polls, and chat with other verified students while maintaining control over their identity and privacy. Fizz communities prioritize safety, authenticity, and inclusion through community-based moderation.

We first launched Fizz at Stanford in July 2021 and have since seen >95% of undergraduates join the app, half of which use Fizz every day. Since raising a $25M Series B in July 2023, we have established ourselves as the dominant community platform at 350+ colleges, have begun to generate revenue through partnerships, and are actively expanding to communities beyond college.

We have three primary goals for 2026: continue our expansion to the entire US college market, drive revenue growth through continuous product iteration, and build product to expand our userbase and become the dominant social platform for all of Gen-Z, not just US college students.

As a Fizz intern, you will be able to use your own experience of being a Fizz user to directly build for a product you care about. We aim to give our engineering interns the same responsibilities and autonomy as full-time engineers, and you'll be responsible for owning large initiatives end-to-end. If this type of experience excites you, this internship will be a great fit.

Interns will work full-time out of our NYC office and receive a housing stipend + financial compensation.

Your responsibilities:

• Imagine, design, deploy, and iterate new product features end-to-end (example projects include building advanced systems that use LLMs to moderate content, architecting a content recommendation system to improve the Fizzin feed, building new product features like campus events or job postings, and much more).
• Write clean, efficient, and scalable code that meets project requirements.
• Design and implement RESTful APIs that are scalable, reliable, and secure.
• Work closely with senior engineers to support ongoing projects and tasks.

Qualifications:

• Be a current or graduating college student that is a user of Fizz.
• Strong fundamentals of CS concepts such as Algorithms, Data Structures, Networking, Operating Systems, Databases.
• Experience building several products from 0-1.
• Direct experience with any area of our tech stack (Swift, Google Cloud Platform, Typescript, Node JS).
