Engineering Intern
About the role
You would spend the term on real ingestion, search, or product work, with review and support, and ship something that ends up in the product. No busywork, no throwaway projects. You will see how a small, senior team turns thousands of messy news sources into structured data at scale, and your work will be part of it.
About NewsMesh
NewsMesh turns the world's news into clean, structured, real-time data. We ingest thousands of sources continuously, enrich every article with category, topics, people, and country relevance, and serve it through an API used by developers and, increasingly, by AI agents that discover and pay for it on their own. We are a small, senior team, and the work is measured by one thing: whether the data is right, current, and easy to use.
What you'll do
- Take a real ingestion, search, or product task from start to ship
- Write code that goes into production, with review and support from the team
- Debug real data-quality problems and measure whether your fix worked
- Ask good questions and leave the code better than you found it
What we look for
- Studying CS or equivalent, or self-taught with proof
- Comfortable in at least one language and eager on hard problems
- Curious, careful, and able to work independently
- A link to something you have built beats a resume
Bonus points
- Side projects, open-source contributions, or a portfolio of things you shipped
- Some exposure to data pipelines, backends, or web scraping
Compensation
Depending on experience, the expected pay range is $50–$65/hr.
What we offer
- Competitive pay, in the range listed above
- Remote across the US
- Real ownership: you will ship work customers depend on
- A small, senior team with high standards and little process
How we hire
We read every application. If there is a fit, expect a short intro call, a practical exercise rooted in the kind of work you would actually do, and a few conversations with the people you would work with. A link to something you have built beats a resume.
