Software Engineering Intern – Winter/Spring 2026

Remote (U.S.-based only) · 10–25 hrs/week · Jan–May 2026

At Complama, we help startups build secure, trustworthy products by turning cybersecurity, privacy, and AI governance requirements into clear, self-service workflows. We’re looking for a Full-Stack Software Engineering Intern to join our small, high-trust team and contribute directly to our product development.

This is a hands-on role where you’ll report to our Head of Engineering and collaborate directly with our founding team, build real features, and learn how early-stage products evolve from spec to deployment.

What We’re Looking For

We’re seeking a self-starter who is technically capable, thoughtful in their approach, and highly motivated to grow in a fast-paced environment. You might be a strong candidate if you:

Have experience building web applications, either through coursework, internships, or personal projects
Are familiar with modern development tools and languages (JavaScript/TypeScript, Java, SQL)
Understand the fundamentals of full-stack development, including REST APIs, frontend/backend integration, and authentication flows
Communicate clearly, ask good questions, and work well in asynchronous, remote teams
Pay attention to detail and care about how users experience the product
Bonus: You’ve worked in Agile/Scrum environments and are comfortable using tools like Jira

What You’ll Do

As a software engineering intern at Complama, you’ll contribute to the development of our core platform and help shape how startups approach security and compliance. Your work will include:

Building and refining user-facing features using React, JavaScript, and TailwindCSS
Contributing to backend services and APIs built with Java (Spring Boot) and MySQL
Exploring ways to improve performance, usability, and maintainability across the application
Collaborating with our product team to understand requirements, propose solutions, and iterate based on user and team feedback
Participating in two week Scrum sprints, sprint planning, and retros to deliver incremental value
Writing clean, well-documented code and contributing to reviews and shared standards

We use AWS (EC2, S3, SES) for infrastructure, GitHub Actions for CI/CD, and follow an Agile Scrum process managed in Jira.
