The Opportunity
We're looking for individuals from any stage of their student journey - in your final year, about to get your 3rd graduate degree, or graduated within the last 12 months - all are welcome.

We are passionate about doing meaningful work with future leaders, builders and change makers. This isn't your typical engineering internship. You’ll be spending your summer solving problems with AI and automation, growth hacking and making automated tools and workflows.

We are hiring for potential and we’re most interested in what makes you, you. So let your CV, your interviews, and every step in between reflect your authentic experiences and unique perspective.

This summer there is 1 Growth Engineering Internship and they will be hired on a rolling basis. The internship is full-time (40 hours a week), hybrid in our Auckland office, and paid. The internship runs from November 9 2026 to February 12 2027 (we can be flexible depending on your last exam).

We encourage you to apply early - offers may be made before the closing date of August 31 2026.

What You’ll Do
Build growth marketing tools that attract and engage users

• Build and launch useful, teacher-focused tools (e.g. rubric generators, reading-level checkers, worksheet converters) that solve real classroom problems.


• Take projects from idea to launch with support from your team lead - you’ll own projects from end to end


• Use Engineering skills and knowledge to build programmatic marketing tools
  
  

Build scalable AI-powered marketing systems

Collaborate to solve business problems

The logistics

We’re looking for potential rather than experience, so we're focusing on

• Curious, capable problem-solving - how you think, learn, and approach challenges matters more to us than what you already know.


• High coachability and growth mindset - you positively receive feedback, embrace new ideas and use it as an opportunity to learn and grow.


• Mission-driven and intentional - you are motivated by purpose, taking the time to understand the “why” so your work has meaningful impact.


• Great communication and collaboration skills - you share information and ask questions openly, listen actively, and foster productive collaboration.
