Real-world impact
Your work goes into our open-source projects, which means it reaches the people who rely on them rather than sitting in a folder marked intern.
Internships
Start your career on something that matters
Students, recent graduates, career changers, and volunteers are all welcome. You will work on real accessibility software with people who will show you how.
- Remote positions available
- Flexible scheduling
- Mentorship provided
What you will gain
Work that ships, not busywork
Professional development
Hands-on experience, portfolio pieces you can actually show, and time with people who have been doing this a while.
Collaborative environment
Work alongside a team that treats accessibility as the point of the job, not a checklist at the end of it.
