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:

• Improve accessibility across shared UI components and core product areas

• Identify and fix high-impact accessibility issues (including VPAT gaps)

• Collaborate on enhancing accessibility workflows and standards

• Contribute to WCAG-compliant design and development practices

• Work closely with engineers and designers to ensure inclusive user experiences

• Support testing efforts and help integrate accessibility into the development lifecycle

What we’re looking for:

• You’re passionate about building accessible and inclusive user interfaces

• You have experience with frontend development (e.g., JavaScript, HTML, CSS)

• You’re familiar with accessibility standards such as WCAG and tools for testing accessibility

• You pay attention to detail and care about usability and user experience

• You take ownership and proactively improve existing solutions

• You’re curious, collaborative, and eager to learn
