Practical Internship Program

This is an open-position internship that aims to discover and develop the next generation of talent who will drive and lead our businesses.

Your placement will be decided through the selection and interviews (e.g., Product Management/UX Direction, Marketing, BizOps, Design Research).

• Product Manager / UX Director, Marketer, BizOps, Design Researcher
• (For candidates with high skills and experience) Software Engineer, Data Scientist, ML Engineer, Data Engineer

If you demonstrate strong engineering or data science aptitude, we will consider a special route for Engineering/Data Science roles and tailor the selection accordingly (e.g., coding/data challenge, research project).

• Want to use technology to solve user problems and create new value for the business
• Have strong intellectual curiosity, dig into root causes, and persistently run the cycle of hypothesis, validation, and improvement
• Want to learn a product perspective (users, data, business), regardless of your year or major

Solve real-world frictions with the power of technology and data. Take ownership, face user problems with integrity, and turn learning into tangible outcomes.

We work backward from user needs and value, rapidly iterating—hypothesis, experiment, improvement—to deliver hundreds of products to the world. As an intern, you'll tackle challenges that directly move our products and business forward, starting from your strengths and curiosity. We look forward to your application.

If you demonstrate strong engineering or data science aptitude, we will actively consider a placement via the Special Engineering / Data Science Track.

Students expected to graduate in October 2028 or later
