As a Software Engineering Intern at Acorns, you will play a crucial role in translating high-level business requirements into innovative services, systems, and data models that drive our products and features. You'll think critically to design and build components that are performant, scalable, and reliable while balancing technical excellence with real-world business needs.

Our internship emphasizes collaboration and end-to-end ownership, allowing you to lead a dedicated project from conception through delivery.
