Dream of building real products that power millions of WordPress sites? Want to learn from industry veterans, contribute to a remote-first company, and kickstart your engineering career?

The Rocketgenius Summer 2026 Engineering Internship is your opportunity to learn, grow, and launch your future – alongside a team that’s passionate about people, innovation, and impact. Apply today!

Not just an internship – a launchpad

This summer, you’ll join a small cohort of interns who’ll work directly with our engineers, product teams, and founders. From day one, you’ll make a real impact on real products.

Over the course of three months, you’ll:

• Collaborate across departments – Work with engineering, support, QA, and marketing to understand the full product lifecycle.
• Solve meaningful problems – You’ll write code, ship features, and learn modern development practices.
• Learn from the best – Our team includes seasoned developers and leaders who’ve built a sustainable, bootstrapped business over the past 15+ years.
• Grow your remote-work skills – Experience what it’s like to contribute to a globally distributed team and build strong communication and collaboration habits that last a lifetime.

Hear from Martin Grigoryan, one of our 2025 interns, as he reflects on his first two weeks at Rocketgenius and what it’s been like to join the team, learn the workflow, and grow as a developer.

The path ahead

For the right candidates, the Rocketgenius Internship is only the beginning.

Outstanding interns may be invited to continue on as Journeyman Engineers – a longer-term, project-focused program that bridges the gap between internship and full-time employment.

Many of our past interns have gone on to extended roles and even full-time positions at Rocketgenius.

Issy Doran – Junior Software Engineer

“As one of the earliest interns to work through a Rocketgenius Internship, I am proud to see how our program has evolved over the past few years.

As a Junior Developer, it can be challenging to find a place to advance and refine our technical skills, but here at RG, the support and passion have been the most rewarding aspects of the journey. I look forward to seeing this continue to flourish in 2026!”

Alex Powell – Software Engineer Intern

“The Gravity Forms Internship has been an exciting experience. We were taken through a great curriculum, which gave us the skills to succeed before the internship even started. During the internship, we were exposed to many different projects, spanning marketing, customer support, coding development work, and quality assurance (QA).

Being exposed to many different areas in the organization was a great way to guide us to where we might want to end up after the internship. I am extremely grateful to have been given the opportunity to work alongside these experts. I have learned many valuable skills that I can use throughout my career.”
