Job Description

Software Engineer Intern (Summer '26)

Harmonic is the startup discovery engine. It pains us to see great startup opportunities consistently go undiscovered. So, we dedicated ourselves to mapping out the startup landscape and building the tools that ensure the most promising founders get found and funded. The world's largest and most prolific venture capital firms (as well as the up-and-comers you haven't heard of yet) rely on us to find and invest in the next Google, AirBnB, Uber, Stripe, and Anduril. We play a crucial part in ensuring hundreds of billions of dollars get routed efficiently and that the innovations the world would most benefit from materialize. We are on pace to double revenue over the next twelve months and already power thousands of investors' workflow. Backed by $30M from investors like Craft, Floodgate, and Sozo Ventures, we want to power the entire investment workflow from discovery to term sheet. If you resonate with our values and want to fundamentally evolve how venture capital markets work, come join us.

This internship is for a June 2026 start. We will begin to review applications early September, 2025 with applications closing October 31st, 2025.

About Our Internship Program: We invest early and heavily in high slope talent, and are looking for top 1% engineers to join us in one of our 3 teams:

• Discovery/Data : We sit at the core of Harmonic's product and data engine. We transform hundreds of fragmented, unstructured sources - from APIs and raw HTML to legal filings - into structured insights on startups, people, and investors. We own the entire pipeline, from large-scale data ingestion to the full-stack search experience that surfaces breakout companies before anyone else.
• Discovery/Scout : We are building the future of startup search and research. We transform massive volumes of structured and unstructured data into dynamic, searchable indices - powering an agentic layer that helps VCs explore, analyze, and automate sourcing and diligence like never before.
• Flow : We are building Harmonic's AI-native hub for VC workflows. One place to source, research, and triage deals. It syncs VCs internal data with Harmonic's knowledge graph to surface fast, context-rich, actionable insights so VCs can move faster on the best opportunities.

What you'll get out of your internship:

• Ship code that powers real decisions : You'll design and build features that directly shape how top VC firms discover and invest in startups.
• Grow your VC network : You'll get to attend invite-only events and get exposure to the world's top VCs.
• Top-tier mentorship : You'll spend your days with a mix of ex-founders and ex-Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, and Meta engineers (who are also just incredible human beings).
• Be part of something early : We're a lean, high-trust team. We want you to have a seat at the table, influence product decisions, and see how a startup scales from the inside out.

Please ensure you fit this profile prior to applying:

• CS/Engineering junior undergrad with a strong academic record
• Able to work in-person in our NYC office early June - late August
• Some prior experience with LLMs, Python, and/or TypeScript
• Top-tier product taste and unrelenting curiosity

Pay is around ~$10,000/month (USD)

*Note that health insurance and 401K matching are for full-time employees; interns will get free lunch, monthly team dinners, and commuter benefits:)
