Software Engineering Intern

Who you are

• Currently pursuing a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
• Solid programming fundamentals in Java, Python, or another object-oriented language, with willingness to work in Java
• Familiarity with Linux and comfort in a terminal
• Curiosity about how software meets hardware: networking, radios, embedded systems, or IoT (coursework and personal projects count)
• Bias toward tinkering: you've taken something apart, built something scrappy, or debugged something the hard way
• Clear communication and eagerness to ask questions
• Coursework or projects in embedded systems, networking, or RF communication
• Experience with AWS or any cloud platform
• A personal project involving a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, microcontroller, or home automation
• Interest in healthcare technology or building for underserved users

What the job involves

• As a Software Engineering Intern on the Edge team, you will work at the boundary between physical systems installed in senior living communities and the cloud infrastructure that powers the Sage platform
• Our edge fleet includes thousands of deployed devices: gateways, sensors, pendants and more that must run reliably in buildings we don't control, on networks we don't manage, for residents who depend on them in emergencies
• This internship runs Monday, June 7, 2027 to Friday, August 13, 2027
• You will ship production code during your internship
• You'll be paired with a senior engineer as your mentor, embed on the team, and present your work to the engineering organization at the end of the summer
• Projects may include such work as fleet diagnostic tooling, device telemetry pipelines, or automation that replaces manual operational work
• Design, build, and ship a summer project that solves a real problem for the Edge team, with guidance from your mentor
• Write backend services in Java that interact with a fleet of thousands of on-premise devices
• Work with Linux-based edge devices: flashing, configuring, debugging, and learning how software behaves when the network is unreliable
• Build tooling that improves fleet observability and helps the team remotely diagnose hardware and connectivity issues
• Participate in code reviews and design discussions alongside the full engineering team
• Learn how a production IoT system spanning LoRaWAN, BLE, and cloud services actually operates at scale

Benefits

• You and your health: Your health comes first. Sage covers 100% of your individual medical premium, plus dental and vision. Every employee also gets a free OneMedical membership for modern primary care, plus access to mental health support through Talkspace, fertility care through KindBody, and virtual medicine through Teladoc.

We also offer a hybrid work schedule and unlimited PTO, which we encourage you to use. In addition, Sage has seven company holidays and closes for two weeks at the end of December.
• Your financial future: You're building something here, so you should own a piece of it.
