About the role

Want to work on systems that actually matter? At Starburst, our backend is the engine behind fast, scalable data access — and as an intern, you won’t be on the sidelines.

You’ll join the team building Starburst Galaxy or Enterprise and start contributing from day one. Real code, real impact, real ownership.

You’ll work on distributed systems, APIs, and data processing pipelines, learning directly from experienced engineers while solving problems that show up in production — not just in theory.

We’ll support your growth, but we’ll also expect you to take initiative, move fast, and ship.

This is a paid, 10-week internship (June 1st – August 28th, 2026).

What you’ll do:

• Build backend features used by real customers
• Work on scalable, distributed systems
• Ship code early and often
• Learn modern backend technologies in practice
• Collaborate with engineers across different time zones
• Tackle real-world performance and reliability challenges

What we’re looking for:

• You’re excited about backend engineering
• You’ve coded in Java
• You like solving hard problems
• You take ownership and get things done
• You’re curious and learn fast
• You’re a rising Senior or recent graduate
