Student Internship - Full Stack Developer
Summary
A 3-month full-time student internship (Sept 30 – Dec 30, 2026) building a responsible-tech policy-intelligence dashboard for GoodBot. Day-to-day work spans the full stack: React.js/Next.js frontends, Python/FastAPI backends, and PostgreSQL data handling.
Student Internship - Full Stack Developer
The Project
GoodBot is building a repository of key resources, organizations, policies, and issues to help companies, civil society organizations, policymakers, and citizens advance responsible technology practices, individually and collectively.
As part of this, we're building a dashboard that captures signals from users and turns them into a policy-intelligence workflow — surfacing patterns in questions, gaps, and challenges that matter for coalition-building, advocacy, and research.
We're looking for a full stack engineer who can move comfortably across the whole stack — from interface to API to data — and help take this from concept to a working, reliable product.
The Full Stack Developer will work with the GoodBot Responsible Tech hub team to build and strengthen an ecosystem web application with information on emerging issues, policies, nonprofits, experts, books, podcasts and other resources as organizations work to navigate the rapid emergence of AI impacting different areas of personal and professional spaces.
