Right now, Bumble Engineering is undergoing one of the most transformative moments in our history. We’re rebuilding our platform into Bumble 2.0, moving to a modern technology stack on AWS that will give us the speed, flexibility, and scale to support the next generation of growth. Alongside that, we’re embracing AI as a creative tool - using it to drive engineering efficiency, optimize workflows, and unlock new possibilities for building safe, personalized, and meaningful experiences.
As a Software Engineering Intern, you’ll get hands-on exposure to this transformation. You’ll work with experienced engineers and cross-functional partners, contribute to both backend systems and user-facing features, and see how large-scale applications are designed, built, and evolved in real-time. This isn’t just about learning the basics - it’s about being part of a team that’s reimagining what the future of social connection looks like.
