About the Program: 

At Tamara, we believe potential should be stretched early.

Our Flagship Builders Internship & Co-Op track is crafted for students who don’t want a passive internship but a real seat at the table. If you’re hungry to apply what you’ve learned, in a fast-moving, high-performance environment, this is where you begin.
Built for current students seeking internship or co-op opportunities, this track immerses you in meaningful, hands-on work across Product, Engineering, Design, and beyond giving you real ownership, not just exposure.
You’ll contribute to real projects and solve real problems, gaining the kind of exposure that most early-career experiences simply don’t offer. We treat interns and co-op students as future builders, because in many ways, they already are.

With our January and June cohorts, you’ll gain more than experience. You’ll gain momentum.

About the Role

As a Product Engineer Intern, you will contribute to real squads building products that millions of users rely on to shop, pay, and bank. This is not a traditional software engineering internship — you will be expected to develop across all five competency pillars of Tamara's Product Engineering career framework:

Impact & Scope — Individual tasks and learning-focused contributions within a squad

You will work on well-defined tasks and small features within a squad, paired with a mentor who provides clear requirements and established patterns. Your primary focus is learning how your work fits into the broader product and building the habits needed to operate as an independent contributor.

Technical Capabilities — Building foundational engineering skills

You will begin developing core programming competencies, learn to write clean code with guidance, and start becoming familiar with the codebase, tools, and development workflows used at Tamara. You are not expected to be an expert — you are expected to be curious, ask questions, and grow quickly.

Product Thinking — Understanding the "why" behind your work

You will learn how Tamara's business model works and gain an understanding of your team's domain. For every ticket you pick up, you'll be encouraged to understand the user story behind it — not just what to build, but why it matters to the customer.

Delivery & Execution — Owning your tasks end-to-end

You will take ownership of your assigned tasks — making sure they meet acceptance criteria, are code-reviewed, well-tested, and merged. When you hit a blocker or a gap in understanding, you'll proactively ask for help rather than stay stuck.

Developing Self & Team — Growing fast and contributing to the team

You will focus on continuously enhancing your technical skills while embracing new knowledge and learning opportunities. You'll collaborate effectively with your team, ask good questions, and contribute to process improvements — influencing collective growth from day one.

Your Responsibilities

• Deliver well-defined tasks and small features within a squad, following established patterns and guidance from your mentor.
• Write clean, readable code and participate in code reviews to learn team standards and best practices.
• Understand the user stories and product context behind the tickets you work on — connect your technical work to customer impact.
• Take ownership of your tasks through the full lifecycle: development, testing, review, and merge.
• Proactively flag blockers, ask clarifying questions, and seek feedback to accelerate your learning.
• Contribute to a collaborative team environment by sharing learnings, offering constructive feedback, and staying open to input from others.
• Stay curious about Tamara's business model, your team's domain, and emerging technologies.

Your Expertise

• Currently undertaking a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• Basic understanding of programming concepts and willingness to learn languages and frameworks used at Tamara (Java or Golang).
• Foundational understanding of databases and SQL.
• Strong problem-solving abilities with attention to detail.
• A product-minded approach: genuine curiosity about why things are built, not just how.
• Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate within a team.
• High motivation and commitment to continuous learning and development.
• Proficiency in written and spoken English communication.

Growth Path

This internship is designed as a launchpad into Tamara's Product Engineering Ladder. High-performing interns will automatically get the option to continue as an Associate Product Engineer role, where you will be expected to:

• Independently deliver well-defined tasks within a squad.
• Understand basic programming concepts and apply them with growing autonomy.
• Grasp the overall Tamara business model and your team's domain.
• Take full ownership of your tasks from development through merge.
• Contribute to team growth by questioning, learning, and improving processes.

All qualified individuals are encouraged to apply.

About the role 

We’re looking for a fresh graduate or early-career Data Platform Engineer on a builder track.

This role is for someone who wants to build the foundations behind analytics and AI. You will help develop and run the data platform that makes data available, secure, governed, and fast. That includes pipelines, event streaming ingestion, warehouses and lakes, and the guardrails that keep data trusted.

With the advancement of AI, we care more about strong fundamentals than memorizing tools. Use AI assistants to move faster, but always own correctness, reliability, and security.

Your responsibilities

• Build and maintain the data platform
  • Help develop and maintain platform architecture (data warehouse, data lake, governance, protection).
  • Keep the platform reliable, observable, and ready to scale.
• Build robust pipelines (ELT/ETL + event-driven)
  • Build the infrastructure required for optimal extraction, transformation, and loading using SQL and big data technologies.
  • Augment batch pipelines with event-driven patterns where it makes sense (streaming ingestion, CDC, near-real-time processing, and reliable delivery).
  • Improve pipeline performance, cost, and reliability.
• Make the platform easier every week
  • Identify, design, and implement internal improvements: automate manual processes, optimize data delivery, and redesign components for scalability.
• Enable analytics and AI use cases
  • Build platform primitives and data products that power self-serve analytics and AI-assisted insights (not only dashboards).
  • Support analytics tooling that uses the pipelines to deliver actionable insights into customer acquisition, operational efficiency, and key business metrics.
• Partner with stakeholders
  • Work with stakeholders including Executive, Product, Data, and Design teams to resolve data technical issues and support infrastructure needs.
• Keep data secure across boundaries
  • Help keep data separated and secure across national boundaries, including through multiple data centers and appropriate access controls.

Your expertise (must have)

• Fresh graduate or < 1 year of relevant experience (internships and projects count).
• Solid programming fundamentals in Python, Java, Go, or similar.
• Strong SQL fundamentals.
• Understanding of data concepts: schemas, partitions, data quality, SLAs, and basic security/PII awareness.
• A problem-solving mindset and comfort debugging systems end-to-end.
• Clear communication and a collaborative approach.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with cloud data stack concepts (warehouses, object storage, orchestration, streaming).
• Exposure to event streaming (Kafka concepts like topics, partitions, consumer groups) or CDC.
• Experience with dbt, Airflow, Spark, or similar tools (coursework or projects count).
• Basic Terraform/IaC and CI/CD familiarity.
• Experience using AI assistants responsibly for coding, debugging, and documentation.

What success looks like

• You ship at least one production-ready pipeline or platform improvement that reduces toil or improves reliability.
• You can debug a data issue from source to downstream consumption with clear root cause and fix.
• Teams can onboard to data sources faster, with better documentation and fewer manual steps.
• Platform reliability and data quality improve in measurable ways (latency, failures, freshness, or coverage).
