Job Description

　　How would you use technology to help The Washington Post in its mission to inform and connect with communities worldwide? Our engineering department is looking for curious and creative interns to work with us on a variety of teams.

　　Interns are paid hourly and are expected to work between 35 and 40 hours per week.

　　Our internship program is based out of our D.C. office, so you are expected to be onsite for the summer and follow The Washington Post's hybrid work policy. We do not provide housing but can suggest options upon request.

　　You must be enrolled in a degree-seeking program at the time of submitting this application. If you are currently a student, regardless of your background or your experience with engineering and/or journalism, then we encourage you to apply.

　　Foreign nationals can apply for internships. All work samples must be submitted in English. If selected, the necessary documentation for evidence of U.S. work authorization must be provided. The Post is unable to provide visa sponsorship for internships. Any questions please reach out to [email protected]

　　We will review all applications and invite a subset of applicants to the next process that includes live coding and interview with team leads.

　　Our program provides a meaningful learning experience for engineers who support The Washington Post's mission. Our interns work directly with our full-time engineers, on real production features.

　　Please reach out with questions about the work of specific teams!

　　Additionally, you'll be invited to exclusive events like our annual intern hackathon and lunch seminars from leaders across the company.

　　This internship is not a guarantee of a job at The Post. We have hired from our internship classes in the past, and we hope to continue this trend in the coming years. Note our internship program is not a binding contract - you can take a full-time job elsewhere or from your (or another!) team at The Post before the internship ends.

　　About Publishing tools: The publishing tools team owns the suite of content management systems that power The Post's journalism. From stories to audio, video, photos and more, this team's software is used by nearly every single reporter and editor in the newsroom. This team's applications largely require frontend development in HTML/CSS and Javascript including React and some Angular, but there's also room for programmers comfortable with Node and Java

　　 The Post strives to provide its readers with high-quality, trustworthy news and information while constantly innovating. That mission is best served by a diverse, multi-generational workforce with varied life experiences and perspectives. All cultures and backgrounds are welcomed.

　　The innovation doesn't end in the Newsroom - dozens of teams power The Washington Post. We are now hiring the next innovator - how will you Impact Tomorrow?
