High School Internship, Software Engineering (Summer 2027)

Stripe is offering a selective 12-week summer internship for exceptional high school students and recent graduates. Interns work in person from San Francisco or Seattle on engineering projects, contributing to Stripe's codebase and learning from engineers. The role involves owning a problem end-to-end, writing production software, and participating in team discussions. This is not a classroom program; interns are expected to contribute meaningfully.

Applicants must be currently enrolled in high school or graduating before the internship. They must be available full-time in person for 12 consecutive weeks between May and August 2027. Experience programming through projects, research, or open source is required. Evidence of exceptional technical achievement for their stage is needed. Strong communication and ability to learn unfamiliar systems are essential. Preferred: deeper knowledge in areas like frontend, backend, infrastructure, data, ML
