This is a 12-week internship during summer 2027.

We're hiring a Forward Deployed Engineer Intern to join the HR Technology team within People Success for a 12-week summer 2027 internship. This team builds the internal applications, integrations, and AI-powered workflows that help Coinbase employees move faster. You'll own a scoped project from discovery through production, making technical decisions across the stack and shipping working software that automates manual HR processes and measurably improves the employee experience.

What you'll do:

Own a project end-to-end, from defining the problem and scope with HR stakeholders through designing, building, testing, and delivering production-ready software within the internship.

Build custom applications, integrations, and AI-powered workflows that automate manual HR processes and improve the employee experience, taking solutions from prototype to production with appropriate quality checks and human oversight.

Make technical decisions across data modeling, API integrations, application logic, and user interfaces, balancing speed, maintainability, and security.

Partner directly with internal customers to understand their needs, map user journeys, and prioritize your roadmap based on expected impact.

Measure results by defining success metrics, gathering user feedback, and using evidence like time saved, error reduction, and adoption rates to guide iterations and communicate outcomes.
