About Treevah

Treevah is a startup building a better folder for job seekers to organize and manage their files during their job search. We help people keep resumes, cover letters, and applications in one clear place so applying is faster and less overwhelming.

We’re currently in public beta and actively building.

⏱ Commitment & Compensation (Read First)

This internship is designed as a Spring–Summer experience, with an intended end date of late August.

Onboarding begins: February (with a gradual ramp-up)
Time commitment: ~36 hours per week
Compensation: Unpaid

This role is flexible. Interns are free to leave at any time if circumstances change (job offers happen, and we fully support that).

At the same time, we are specifically looking for people who apply with the intention of staying involved through the Spring and Summer so they can take real ownership of projects and see work through from start to finish.

Extensions beyond August may be possible, but are optional and never expected.

Please Read Before Continuing

This opportunity is not for everyone, and that’s intentional.

This internship requires:

Significant time and energy
Comfort working without step-by-step instruction
The ability to contribute consistently over multiple months
The financial and personal flexibility to participate in an unpaid role

We are upfront about this because we only want people who can genuinely afford to do this — financially, mentally, and time-wise — without harming themselves or burning out.

If this doesn’t work for you right now, that’s completely okay. There is no downside to stepping away.

About the Role

This is a remote, unpaid Software Engineering Intern role focused on real product work.

This is not a classroom, a simulation, or a traditional corporate internship. You’ll contribute directly to a live product alongside a small, fast-moving team and learn by doing.

What You’ll Work On

Depending on your skills and interests, you may work on:

Frontend development using React.js
Backend APIs and services using Node.js
Cloud infrastructure and deployment on Azure
Full-stack feature development across the product

Everything you work on ships to a live product used by real users.

Who Should Apply

This role is a good fit if you:

Want real startup experience and don’t currently have access to it
Are comfortable with ambiguity and learning by doing
Can communicate clearly and take ownership of your work
Are intentionally planning ahead for a Summer internship

We care more about what you’ve built (projects, coursework, side work) and how you think than formal titles or credentials.
