About the Role

The Globalization team at Udemy is on a mission to make learning accessible to everyone, everywhere. As a Software Engineering Intern, you will join us to bridge the gap between academic learning and industry impact. You will work alongside a dedicated mentor and a team of experienced engineers to contribute to projects that support our international expansion.

This role is ideal for a student or recent graduate who is curious, eager to learn, and passionate about global education. You will focus on building clean code, understanding scalable architecture, and learning how a global product operates at scale.

• 
  

  Shadow & Participate: Join agile rituals like daily stand-ups, sprint planning, and retrospectives to see how high-performing engineering teams collaborate.
