Company Description Gleam is an iOS app helping people build confidence, social skills, and emotional intelligence through bite-sized lessons, practice conversations, and AI feedback. We’re building a consumer product at the intersection of self-improvement, education, social skills, and AI. The app is early, fast-moving, and design-heavy, so interns will have the chance to work on real product features that directly shape the user experience.

Role Description We’re looking for a Software Engineer Intern to join us full time on-site in New York, NY. You’ll help design, build, and ship features in our React Native app and supporting systems. You’ll work closely with the founding team across product, engineering, and design, moving from idea to prototype to shipped feature. This role is best for someone who wants to build consumer software, cares about product quality, and is excited to learn quickly in a startup environment.

Qualifications

Build and ship product features in React Native
Write clean, maintainable TypeScript code
Work across the mobile app, front-end flows, and supporting back-end systems
Build APIs, integrate databases, and improve app performance
Debug issues and improve reliability across the product
Prototype new ideas quickly and iterate based on feedback
Contribute to UI components, design systems, animations, and interaction details
Participate in code reviews and product discussions
Own features end-to-end, from concept to implementation

Why Gleam

Join us if you want to build products people actually use.

You’ll get hands-on experience shipping real features, working across engineering and design, and learning how fast-moving consumer startups operate. This is a high-growth internship for someone who wants to become a stronger engineer, better product thinker, and maybe start a company someday.
