 About Twitter

We believe the open exchange of information can be a compelling force for good in the world, and we’ve built Twitter to be the real-time public platform for authentic voices, conversations, and ideas. We've seen this time and time again with movements like #HeForShe, #BlackLivesMatter, #LoveWins, and #ILookLikeAnEngineer.

Now we’re entering a very exciting phase, and actively looking for wonderful interns. We would love to have you join the flock to help write our next chapter.

#TwitterAcademy Engineering Internship Program

#TwitterAcademy is a paid 12-week summer internship program designed to provide first-year college students with hands on technical experience. Interns will have the opportunity to apply theory learned in class to practice by contributing to a platform that encourages people to express themselves and discover what's happening instantly.

Throughout the summer, you’ll partner closely with engineers and fellow interns on refining your technical chops. You'll kick-off the summer with a two-week software development workshop and then dig into ten weeks of hands-on project experience, social activities with fellow summer interns, all while being mentored by a Twitter engineer. You'll thrive in a culture that always puts users first.

We are committed to addressing diversity in the technology industry. We specifically encourage students to apply who are a member of a group that is historically underrepresented.
