How Engineering Internships Work at Cockroach Labs

Cockroach Labs' Engineering internship program is designed to provide real-world experience for up-and-coming developers. The company assigns interns meaningful work that contributes to the development of their products, CockroachDB and CockroachDB Dedicated. Throughout the internship, interns are supported by a "Roachmate" who helps them transition into the company culture and navigate their projects. Feedback is encouraged at all stages of the internship, with midpoint check-ins and end-of-internship syncs to ensure continuous improvement. The program concludes with a final presentation where interns showcase their work and experiences during their time at Cockroach Labs.
