Full job description
Parabola Engineering Internship, Winter 2027 Parabola is hiring paid engineering interns for an in-office cohort in San Francisco and New York, starting January 11, 2027. You'll ship to real customers in your first week, and the program is built to generate real impact and lead to full-time roles.
We're upfront about the trade-offs as well as the upside, so you can tell quickly whether this is for you.
Since we consider this to be a work trial with the hope of converting successful interns into full-time hires at Parabola, we ask that candidates only apply who are able to start a new, full-time, post-grad role in the next 6-8 months. If you still have another year of school/grad school ahead of you, this internship is not a fit at this time (though we hope to see you next year!).
Dates: Jan 11, 2027, for 11+ weeks Location: SF or NYC office, 4 in-office days a week, full-time W-2 Work authorization: Must be authorized to work in the US without sponsorship, now and later. Full-time conversion: This should be considered a path to a full-time role. To apply, you should be able to start full-time August 2027 or earlier.
About Parabola Parabola builds Prowork, an AI workspace for finance and operations teams. It answers questions, builds reports, and runs recurring processes like inventory reconciliation and invoice audits, with every step of the data and logic visible and editable. Customers include WHOOP, SKIMS, Uber Freight, On Running, and Ruggable. We're a Series B company with a small engineering team across our SoHo and Union Square offices.
We hire for our values: Create Value, Weirdly Deep, Shine a Light on Operations, and Be an "I Got It" Person.
The program You start alongside the rest of the cohort and ship something real in week one. Next come three two-week rotations: enterprise, support engineering, and platform on-call. You finish with a 4+ week capstone on the team that fits you best. Engineering leaders run weekly Friday check-ins, and academic credit is available if you need it.
What we look for We evaluate interns like full-time engineers: output and impact first, then peer feedback and values. We reward making large problems smaller, owning "done" through testing, release, and monitoring, and being easy to point at new problems. Strong interns tend to stand out in a few areas: architectural intuition, domain depth, skill with LLM tools, independence, communication, or a big appetite for learning.
