Want to see what it's like to work at a startup in silicon valley? If you are a CS student now, you can experience it first-hand with an internship at Scribd.

Scribd hires top undergraduate and graduate students for internships year-round. Most internships are in the summer, but if your school has a co-op program, we'll work with 3 or 6 month programs during the academic term as well.

Our philosophy around internship programs is that you will learn the most being put on real projects, working side by side full-time engineers. As an intern at Scribd, we will treat you like a full-time employee for the duration of the time. The software you write will ship to millions of users, and you will come away knowing what it's like to work a top technology startup.

Scribd interns will usually work with ruby/rails, iOS, or Android during their summer. We'll work with you to find the area you'll best fit in.

We provide intern housing, travel arrangements, and a generous salary. You'll also be included in company fun: in past summers we have done theme parks, sailing trips, and indoor skydiving.
