What are the responsibilities and job description for the Software Engineering Internship (Summer 2025) position at Steely?
Overview
You’ve spent the last year (or more) learning how to code and how computer systems interact. As you begin to think about what’s next after college, finding a nurturing home where you can apply your knowledge is an increasing priority.
Steely is that home.
Rather than become a cog in a large corporate machine, Steely is that small company down the street that you’ve always wanted to work for. We challenge ourselves to solve big issues, going head on with problems in the sky and on the ground.
At the end of each day, you’ll go home knowing that you’ve made a difference in our company and helped our customers meet their goals. The sky’s the limit when you join Steely.
We’re looking for smart, passionate technical interns to work at our Reston, VA office during the summer 2025. While most internships will focus on simple office tasks, we’re focused on a well-rounded, project-based internship.
