Software Engineering Intern-Information Systems (Summer 2027)

About the role

Muon is seeking a Software Engineering Intern to join our Information Systems team and help build the internal software that keeps a fast-growing space company running. Information Systems builds and operates the tools that planning, hiring, finance, and engineering teams rely on every day, including workforce and staffing planning, integrations with our HR and recruiting systems, and the data feeds that connect them, so that our engineers can stay focused on building satellites.

You will own a well-scoped project from start to finish, with direct mentorship from the team. Projects might include a new feature for an internal planning application, an integration between business systems, an automation that removes manual work for a team, or improvements to testing, deployment, and monitoring.

Summer internships run roughly May through September. The role is full-time and on-site in San Jose, CA.
