GitHub is looking for product-minded engineers, data scientists, designers, and entrepreneurs wanting to join us as a MBA product manager intern this summer. Together, we will create products that are integral to how people build software. We pride ourselves on being thoughtful, intentional and getting things done. Hopefully you do too.

GitHub is changing the way the world builds software. As a product manager intern you will be expected to bring a passion for helping developers collaborate. You should already be familiar with the way software is developed and some of the tools developers use, and be excited to build a deep expertise in an industry that is changing the world.

GitHub’s engineering and product management organizations are highly distributed, and we embrace an environment of asynchronous communication. We expect you to have strong communication skills and be able to build working relationships with coworkers in locations around the globe. We value a diverse and inclusive culture, a growth mindset, collaboration, owning the outcome, shipping and being customer obsessed. You will excel when the way you work reflects these values.

We want you to enable every team member to do the best work of their lives and we'll partner to enable the same for you. In this position, you will work closely with product managers, designers, and engineers. You will also be part of a community dedicated to making a positive impact at work and at large.
